Leveraging centralized authentication in pcAnywhere
Symantec pcAnywhere requires you to create a caller logon account for each
remote user or user group who connects to the host computer and to select an
authentication method for verifying the user's identity. This information is
required for all host sessions to prevent unauthorized access.
Symantec pcAnywhere supports a number of centralized authentication types,
including Active Directory, Novell Directory Services, Novell Bindery, NT, and
RSA SecurID, giving you the flexibility of using the authentication measures
already in place on your network.
Using two-factor authentication
Symantec pcAnywhere supports RSA SecurID two-factor authentication. SecurID
validates users against a security code which is generated by an authenticator,
and a user-provided PIN.
Note: RSA is currently not supported for Windows Vista because the RSA client
for Vista is unavailable.
You must have the RSA ACE/Server and Agents properly installed and configured
on your network.
For more information, visit the RSA Web site at the following URL:

To implement SecurID in pcAnywhere, you must do the following:
■ Install and configure the RSA ACE/Agent on the host computer.
