A user also needs a new token if his or her current token has expired. Use this procedure to replace tokens with a specific unassigned token.

Replaced tokens are either unassigned or deleted from the deployment, depending on your configuration.

  1. In the Security Console, click Authentication > SecurID Tokens > Manage Existing.
  2. Use the search fields to find the tokens that you want to replace.
  3. Select the checkbox for the tokens that you want to replace.
  4. From the Action menu, click Replace SecurID Tokens.
  5. Click Go.
  6. Click the checkbox next to the replacement tokens.
  7. Click Next.
  8. (Optional) Click the checkbox to require the assigned user to set up a new SecurID PIN for the replacement token.
  9. Click Save & Finish.​
