Training Course Summary:

This two-day instructor led course provides an overview of the administrative responsibilities associated with RSA SecurID products. The working principles behind RSA ACE/Server and RSA SecurID hardware and software tokens are discussed, including product architecture, time synchronization, system maintenance, use of Quick Admin feature and Web Express. Extensive hands-on labs reinforce the administrative tasks involved in managing a user population and assigning and managing tokens.

Pre-Requisites:

Delegates are required to meet the following prerequisites:
• Have an operational understanding of the UNIX and Windows Server operating systems.
• Have an existing knowledge of RSA's products.

Who Should Attend:

This course is intended for system, security or help desk administrators who need to administer and support RSA SecurID products.
