CC-SG can be configured to point to an RSA RADIUS Server that
supports two-factor authentication via an associated RSA Authentication
Manager. CC-SG acts as a RADIUS client and sends user authentication
requests to RSA RADIUS Server. The authentication request includes
user id, a fixed password, and a dynamic token code.

Supported Environments for Two-Factor Authentication

The following two-factor authentication components are known to work
with CC-SG.

RSA RADIUS Server 6.1 on Windows Server 2003

RSA Authentication Manager 6.1 on Windows Server 2003

RSA Secure ID SID700 hardware token

Earlier RSA product versions should also work with CC-SG, but they
have not been verified.

Two-Factor Authentication Setup Requirements

The following tasks must be completed for two-factor authentication
setup. Consult the RSA documentation.

1. Import

tokens.

2. Create a CC-SG user and assign a token to the user.

3. Generate a user password.

4. Create an agent host for the RADIUS server.

5. Create an agent host (type: Communication Server) for CC-SG.

6. Create a RADIUS CC-SG client.

Two-Factor Authentication Known Issues

The RSA RADIUS “New PIN” mode that requires a challenge
password/PIN will not work. Instead, all users in this scheme must be
assigned fixed passwords.
