Import from File

Use the following procedure to import a token from a file manually if the token file resides in a directory other than Desktop or My Documents on Windows, or other than Desktop or Documents on Mac OS X. Token files have the extension .sdtid (for example, "Token1.sdtid").

To complete the import, you may be prompted to enter a token file password that your administrator provided. Be sure to note the file password before you begin.

  1. Do one of the following:

  1. Click OK.

  2. If prompted, enter the token file password, and click OK.

  3. If prompted to select a device on which you want to store the token, click the name of the device as your administrator directs, for example, "Local Hard Drive (RSA)."

  4. Click OK.
    If prompted to rename your token, you can rename the token, retain the existing name, or change the name later.

  5. Do one of the following:

  1. To change the token name, enter a name containing 1 to 24 alphanumeric characters (for example, "My VPN Token"), and click OK.
