NAME
       securidd - SecurID ACE/Client authentication agent

SYNOPSIS
       /sbin/securidd

DESCRIPTION
       The securidd authentication agent supports authentication using a
       SecurID PASSCODE. It is an ACE/Client that interfaces to an
       ACE/Server to handle SecurID authentication requests.  The securidd
       agent communicates with credentiald and admauthdata, using the
       authentication agent interfaces specified in adlibrary(3).

       The securidd is not set up to run by default on systems with DG/UX
       information security.  In order to have user accounts that use
       SecurID PASSCODE authentication in their authentication procedures:

         1.   The ACE/Server software and SecurID tokens must be purchased
              from Security Dynamics Technologies, Inc. and installed on the
              system that will be acting as the ACE/Server. Note that the
              securidd ACE/Client only allows SDI encryption to be used, so
              the ACE/Server configuration file for a client using securidd
              must be set to use SDI encryption.

         2.   The securidd ACE/Client must be started by init as a
              trusted_respawn action by adding an entry for securidd to
              /etc/inittab. This entry can be added right after that of
              dgpasswd:
                      secu::trustedrespawn:/sbin/securidd

         3.   The following sysadm menu must be used to administer user
              authentication procedures to use securidd as an authentication
              method:
                      User->User Session Attributes->Authentication->Step

         4.   The systems where the securidd ACE/Client is running must be
              set up as clients of the ACE/Server.

         5.   Any users who will use SecurID PASSCODE authentication must be
              activated on the ACE/Server as recognized users on a
              particular ACE/Client.
