How to disable SecurID Tokens before they go into Next Token Mode
Cause
After a set number of bad passcodes a SecurID Token will be put into Next Tokencode.  If the next Token code fails the Token will then be disabled in the ACE/Server.  The aim is to disable tokens after a certain number of bad passcodes without sending them into Next Tokencode Mode
Resolution
On the ACE/Server for NT, this can be configured without a problem. However on UNIX there is an error in sdsetup -config which stops you from changing Token behaviour.

This has been fixed in Patch 3 for ACE/Server 4.1.
Install patch 3, restart the ACE/Server and run sdsetup -config to change parameter. Redistribution of sdconf.rec to the Slave and Agents is not necessary.
