Add RSA Manager and enable two-factor authentication

To add or edit the RSA Manager so that you can enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on virtual machines, perform the following.

1. In the AUI navigation pane on the left, click , and then click System.
   The System window appears.
2. Select the RSA Authentication Manager tab.
3. Click ADD/EDIT RSA MANAGER.
   The RSA Manager window appears, prompting you to provide the following configuration information for both a new and existing RSA Manager:

   • RSA Client ID — The Avamar server fully qualified domain name (FQDN), which is registered as an agent on the RSA server.
   • RSA Base URL — the RSA server path, which includes the server FQDN and the port to use for communication with the Avamar server.

     For example, in this base url: https://rsaauthmanger.com:5555/mfa/v1_1/ the rsaauthmanger.com is the hostname of RSA authentication server.

   • RSA Access ID — the RSA server remote access ID.
   • RSA Access Key — the RSA server remote access key.
   • RSA Root Cert — the Root certificate is required for the Avamar authentication agent to establish a verified HTTPS connection with the RESTful service running on the authentication manager (RSA Manager).
4. After completing the configuration, click Finish.
   When you add an RSA Manager, an entry with the RSA server URL appears in the left pane.
5. If you add the RSA Manager under the vCenter:
   1. Select the vCenter in the left pane to display the virtual machines in the right pane.
   2. Select the checkbox next to the virtual machines.
   3. Click UPDATE 2FA STATUS to enable RSA two-factor authentication on the virtual machines in the vCenter.
6. If you change any configuration details of an existing RSA Manager, click UPDATE 2FA STATUS again.
