PowerShell Script for : RSA SecurID Software Token Converter

Aman Dhally

Hi,

If if RSA SecureID is deployed on your environment to use VPN securely , then i am sure that you are managing “Software Tokens” too.

Software token are RSA App which are installed on your mobile devices like iPhone,iPad, Android,or Blackberry phones and by installing them ,you don’t need to carry RSA SecureID hardware keys every time with you.

RSA Hardware key  RSA Application
1010053834  EMC_Image_C_1300591192404_9000-Passcode30s8d

When you configure software token on RSA Console for a a users it download as zip file and when you extract them it contains a .sdtid  file.

If you are deploying Token on Blackberry Device we just need to add x-rimdevice- in the front of the .sdtid file and need to send to the user on his email id.

but.!!!!!!!!!!!!

in case you are if you want to deploy to a iPhone or Android phone then we need to run below command and this create a txt file contain a URL for activation.

TokenConverter <path to stdid file> -mobile –p <username (or other password)> -o <output file>

You need to download token convertor software from here : http://www.emc.com/security/rsa-securid/rsa-securid-software-authenticators/converter.htm

Now what?

So whenever you need to convert this .stdid to activation link, you have to go to TokenConvertor folder and then do and provide all details manually, and in case you forget the switch you have to type everything again. This happen with me all the time. so to solve it i have written a TINY MINY Powershell script:

What it does,?

It create the activation link and we just need to provide the full path to .sdtid file and the password.

How it works?

  • Download your Sotware_token zip file and extract it.
  • 01-02-2013 12-46-25 (1)
  • Copy the full path of the .sdtid file.
  • 01-02-2013 12-47-14
  • Now run the script
  • it asks you for full file path, paste the path which we copied before
  • 01-02-2013 12-48-11
  • click on OK
  • Now it ask you to provide the password , which you provided using assigning and distributing Software token on RSA Console and click on “OK.”
  • 01-02-2013 12-50-04 (1)
  • and it will open a text file containing the Activation link.
  • 01-02-2013 12-51-46
  • That’s all !

One thought on “PowerShell Script for : RSA SecurID Software Token Converter”

  1. Hey, thanks for the script. I’m running into an issue though when attempting to convert the token, I am consistently getting:

    Error parsing XML for the following reason: Failed to parse token record.

    This is especially odd because I can do the conversation right from the powershell command prompt just fine, it’s only when I try to script it in PowerGUI that it has this error. Have you ran into this or have any ideas?

    For reference I’m running PowerGUI 3.8.0.129 and the command I’, running is:

    c:\RSA\Tokenconverter\Tokenconverter.exe User.sdtid -iphone -o User.txt

    I have also tried several variations including

    & c:\RSA\Tokenconverter\Tokenconverter.exe User.sdtid -iphone -o User.txt
    .\Tokenconverter.exe User.sdtid -iphone -o User.txt
    & .\Tokenconverter.exe User.sdtid -iphone -o User.txt

    The command runs fine in the prompt as:
    .\tokenconverter.exe User.sdtid -iphone -o User.txt
