The Specify RSA SecurID Connection Settings window will open. Type the 1-512 character
path to the sdconf.rec file, or browse to the file location. (This file is created by the RSA
Authentication Manager, but is located on the DSView 3 software client machine.) Then, click
Next.
The sdconf.rec file will be uploaded from the DSView 3 software client to the DSView 3
server. This file will be used as the initial RSA configuration file for all DSView 3 software
servers.
If some DSView 3 servers require a different configuration, a different sdconf.rec file must be
configured. Additionally, some installations may require an advanced option file (sdopts.rec)
for load balancing. You may specify these files using the procedure to change settings for the
RSA SecurID external authentication service.
