Step 3: VPN/RSA Tokens

UB has adopted a more secure login process for accessing administrative HUB functions. This process is called two factor authentication, which incorporates the concept of:

• Something you know
• Something you have

Two factor authentication uses RSA SecureID Token and Cisco AnyConnect; users are required to setup a PIN that is associated with their UBIT Name. The PIN is “something you know,” and RSA SecureID Token provides a Passcode, which is “something you have.”

Departments determine the type of token an employee needs and arranges for a software token or fob once the employee completes their security training and is pre-authorized for administrative access to HUB.

• Decide if your department will use software tokens or fobs
• Submit a request for software tokens or to purchase fobs

For each user, please include:

• Staff members' UBITName in need of a token
• Staff members' Supervisors name
• Supervisors Title
• Supervisors campus phone number
• Supervisor UBIT name
• Department staff member works for
• Software or hardware fob
• If a hardware fob, the account number to be charged for the fob
