Create a PIN and Authenticate with the PIN Only

If your token requires a PIN, you normally create your PIN during your first RSA SecurID authentication.

Use the following procedure if your VPN client application requests only a PIN. Your user name is normally the user name that you use to log on to your desktop.

Note: If your VPN client prompts for a user name and passcode, you must use both the SecurID desktop application and the VPN client to create your PIN. Open the desktop application. If the Enter PIN screen is displayed, see Create a PIN and Authenticate with a Passcode (Enter PIN Screen). If the Tokencode screen is displayed, see Create a PIN and Authenticate with a Passcode (Tokencode Screen).

To complete first-time authentication to a VPN client that requests a PIN:

  1. Connect to your VPN client.

  2. In the Username field, enter the user name that your administrator assigned.

  3. In the PIN field, type 0000 (four zeros), and click OK.
    You are prompted to create a PIN.

  4. Follow the prompts to create and confirm your PIN.
    Enter the PIN in the format your administrator specified. Be sure to memorize your PIN.

  5. Click OK.
