The RSA Token Service can be installed on Windows Server 2016 using the graphical installer mode.
Before installing the RSA Token Service, ensure the RSA Token Server is time-synchronized with the RSA Authentication Manager. Time-synchronization between the RSA Authentication Manager and the RSA Token Server must always be maintained; otherwise invalid token codes are created causing the RSA Authentication Manager user accounts to become locked.
To install the RSA Token Service using the graphical installer mode, follow these steps:
| Step |
Action |
| 1 |
Log into the server as a user with administrator privileges. |
| 2 |
Note:
Strawberry Perl must be installed prior to installing the RSA Token Service. Double-click on the RSA_install.pl file to run the installer in the graphical installer mode. The installer begins to load. The RSA_install.pl script checks for the prerequisites, and automatically installs any missing prerequisites, if the prerequisites are located in the same directory as the install.pl script. The installer begins to load. |

The Introduction window opens. Click Next at the Introduction window. Notice that as you go through the various steps needed to install, the navigation pane on the left keeps a running list of the completed steps. For example, you can see at the License Agreement window that the Introduction has been completed. A check (√) appears by each completed phase of the installation. The right arrow (►) indicates the current window and installation status. |
| 4 |
Note:
This step only appears if you are not installing the RSA Token Service on the same server as Network Configuration Manager. The Choose Install Folder window opens. You are now prompted to select the Install Folder.
This is the location where the RSA Token Service is to be installed. |
| 5 |
The Enter User ID window opens. You are prompted to type the RSA Token Service Administrator Account username. Enter a username, and then click Next. This is the username used by remote clients to authenticate with the RSA Token Service. |
| 6 |
The Enter Password window opens. You are now prompted to type the RSA Token Service Administrator Account password. Enter a password, and then click Next. This is the password used by remote clients to authenticate with the RSA Token Service. |
| 7 |
The Windows User Account window opens. You are prompted to type the Windows Account username. Enter a username, and then click Next.
Note:
This is the username used for running the RSA Token Service. This username must have “administrative” and “log on as a service” privileges. |
| 8 |
The Enter Password for the Windows Account window opens. You are now prompted to type the Windows Account password. Enter a password, and then click Next. This is the password used for running the RSA Token Service. |
| 9 |
The RSA Port Number window opens. You are now prompted to enter a port number. Enter a port number, and then click Next. This is the port number used to access the Network Configuration Manager RSA Token Service. |
| 10 |
The Pre-Installation Summary window opens and displays the product information (before installing), as well as the required disk space. Click Install to start the installation. This portion of the installation may take several minutes.
Note:
If there is not enough available disk space, the installer displays an error message until sufficient disk space is free. You can continue once enough disk space is available. |
| 11 |
The Post Install Steps window opens. A list of post-installation tasks is displayed. “Post-Installation Procedures” on page 148 provides more information. Click Next.
Note:
The post-installation tasks do not need to be completed until after the RSA Token Service Installer is complete. |
| 12 |
When complete, the Install Complete window opens. Click Done. The installer displays the installation complete message. |
