RSA Authentication Manager can be configured to utilize Wire2Air SMS Gateway for delivery of OnDemand
token codes to be used in on-demand authentications.
When a user authenticates to an agent using his/her username and on-demand PIN, the RSA
Authentication Manager sends the on-demand token code and mobile number to Wire2Air SMS Gateway
using the HTTP or HTTPS protocol. Wire2Air SMS Gateway then delivers the on-demand token code to
the user’s mobile device via Short Message Service (SMS.) The authentication process is completed
when the user enters the on-demand token code into the agent’s prompt for next token code.
