Creating, Updating And Listing of Operations Console Administrator Accounts

By default, RSA SecurID has only 1 Operations Console Administrator account (i.e. rsaadmin) created. At times, there may be a need to have an additional Operations Console Administrator if there is a secondary RSA SecurID administrator or even third one.

In order to create the additional Operations Console Administrators, we will have to carry out the following steps via Putty (An open source telnet and SSH Client for the Windows and Unix platforms):

1. Login using the account emcsrv and key in the password when prompted.

2. Change to root and key in the password when prompted:

-bash-3.00$ sudo su

3. Change to rsaadmin:

[root@Primary/ ]# su rsaadmin

4. Navigate to the directory where the superadmin restoration utility resides to create the temporary superadmin account:

bash-3.00$ cd /usr/local/RSASecurity/RSAAuthenticationManager/utils

bash-3.00$ ./rsautil manage-oc-administrator –a create

[create] – create Operations Console Administrator account

Super Administrator’s name: rsaadmin

Enter Super Administrator’s Password: **********

Enter User Name: OCAdmin1

Enter User Password: **********

Confirm User Password: **********

User ‘OCAdmin1’ created successfully.

5. To change the password for the Operations Console Administrator created.

bash-3.00$ ./rsautil manage-oc-administrator –a update

[update] – change Operations Console Administrator account password

Enter User Name: OCAdmin1

Enter User Password: **********

Confirm User Password: **********

User ‘OCAdmin1’ updated successfully.

6. To list out all Operations Console Administrators.

bash-3.00$ ./rsautil manage-oc-administrator –a list

[list] – provide the list of items to be selling

Super Administrator’s name: rsaadmin

Enter Super Administrator’s Password: **********
