SafeNet Mobile Pass

[pumpkin]

w.t.f ? I downloaded the safenet app onto my iPhone and all I get is a screen that says"token enrollment" and gives me the option of manual enrolment, auto enrollement, delete token or cancel-- what the hell do I do next?- If I hit manual enrolment it asks for a "token policy string"... ?huh?
The email I got from EK says to click on the activate link in the email (which when I do says it is expired ..)- so, when on my iPhone, how do I do that?, in another screen totally separate from the safenet app? - i.e. I have to open the crew portal and open my inbox and click on the activate now link ?(which is defunct now anyway).. Then does that automatically connect with the safenet screen that is asking for a token policy string?
I am too old for this f***ing poorly explained sh*t.

Anyway, does it work? Yes? Then who cares

That's the difference between somebody with a scientific background and you : we make experiments ...
and don't pretend to understand or teach something because you use the word "algorithm " ..... (as so many do )

Kobus, you're a bit of an arrogant prick aren't you? This thread is people making something simple very difficult. Instead of offering anything useful like helping people, you presented a completely useless piece of information that the numbers weren't the same on the app and the fob. All I stated was that it doesn't work like that. I'm not 'pretending' anything, I have a masters in computer science and worked in management level IT before flying. I didn't see the relevance of getting in to the technicalities of a hard/soft token authentication system which I understand perfectly well. It does use algorithms (128bit for the old RSA SecurID, not sure of all the details on the new one) but how it works isn't really relevant to this discussion is it?
I guess you're one of the 'Boeing/Airbus doesn't tell you this in the manuals, but..." types?

You'll have to call ITSC and get a new link. As the email says, the activation link is only good for 10 days. So long as the app is installed before you open the link, it recognises that when you click on the emailed link and it will open up inside the app and from there it's a 30 second process.

Do we get to keep the FOB even if we switched to SafeNet Mobile?
It was always an icebreaker at the executive lounge
"What is that? Just my security data access device...You work for a security agency? Well all I can say is that I work for an employer which takes security very seriously...I am also a pilot. One more martini?"
Something like that....I know, I am shallow.
