1. Partner Information

on any universal serial bus (USB) equipped workstation. The iKey provides the reliability, simplicity, and security of smartcards and cryptographic tokens without the complication and cost of a reader. iKeys are small and lightweight, making them easy to carry on a keychain or in an appointment book. Like smartcards, iKeys have thousands of applications, many of which were previously solved with passwords. iKeys contain memory for personal information and credentials, as well as an independent processor for authentication and network security applications.

5. Partner ACE/Agent configuration

Before attempting to use the Rainbow iKey 2000 and CIP (Cryptographic Interface Provider) Software with the RSA SecurID Software Token v2.5, make sure that your USB reader is installed and operating properly. Also ensure you have installed the CIP software according to the specifications outlined in the iKey 2000 Series User’s Guide. You can verify that the token and reader have been installed properly by starting the Token Manager utility:
Figure 1 – Token Manager Utility
Use the Display Reader Status button in the Token Manager utility to ensure that the components are working properly. Refer to the iKey 2000 Series User’s Guide for more information on using the Token Manager utility.

7. Known Issues

If you receive a Dr. Watson error when attempting to select dkck201.dll in the card reader selection utility, then contact RSA Security Customer Support for a patch to reader.exe that resolves this issue

When using the reader selection utility, upon adding the dkck201.dll PKCS#11 module, the utility may hang. If this occurs, stop the application (reader.exe) from the task manager and restart the program. You will then be able to select the Datakey reader and module from the drop-down menu.
