For configuring the Entrust IdentityGuard Soft Token application, and gaining access to your Paychex machine remotely.
This document is a work in progress to replace (or at least supplement) the Soft Token Setup document provided by Paychex, and is currently under review.
Prerequisites
- Physical LAN connection to Paychex network.
- Credentials and other details:
- Machine Name
- Paychex Username
- Paychex Password
- Token Serial
- PVN
- Make sure that you are not on the “croop” domain on your local machine. You will need to use your local account (“Solu-AccountName”) as we need administrative privileges.
NOTE: Please check out the original word document this page is based on for more information. <LINK DOC HERE>
Accessing the Self-Service Website
- Make sure to be connected via the LAN network.
- Use the following link as we are remotely located: https://eaccesssecurityportal.paychex.com/
- Use your Paychex credentials to login:
- Use the same Paychex credentials again:
- Setup your 5 Security Questions:
- Four will need to be selected from drop-down lists; you will need to create the fifth yourself.
- After you have selected and answered your five questions (1 custom and 4 from the drop-downs), click “Next”:
- You should be returned to the main menu. Select “I’d like to activate my soft token so I can start using it.
- Confirm that you wish to activate your token:
- Select option 2, manual activation:
- You should see a page like the following, containing all the details you will need to activate the application. Wait here:
Configure the Soft Token Application for Desktop
- Check to see if the application is already installed under Start > All Programs > “Entrust IdentityGuard Soft Token”. If so, run it, and skip to the next section.
- If the software is not installed:
- Download it here: https://www.entrust.com/mobile/info/download.php
- Locate the downloaded installer file and run it. You will see this screen:
- Click “Next” through the installer, accepting the license agreement along the way.
- Download it here: https://www.entrust.com/mobile/info/download.php
Connecting your Account and Soft Token Application
- Go back to the Self-Service website, and copy the information from the page we left off at to the Soft Token application.
- Once configured, the application should provide you with a Registration Code. Input this into the next page on the Self-Service site:
- Confirm successful registration. If you see the page below, your token is set up correctly. If not, please ensure all information is correct and retry.
- Next, change your PVN. From the Self-Service main menu, select “I’d like to change my PVN the next time I authenticate.”
- At the confirmation prompt, click “Yes”:
- Click “done”.
- Log out and back into Self-Service which will prompt you to change your PVN.
- Enter your old PVN in the first field (provided via email), followed by your desired new PVN in the next two, and a response from the token application in the last field:
- Click OK; the token is now properly set up.
Connecting to Paychex
- Go to: https://eaccessapps.paychex.com/vpn/index.html
- Install the Citrix Helper Client.
- Login using your Paychex username and password. Pin and Passcode is combination of PVN + Response Passcode from the soft token application. e.g. PVN: 1234 + Passcode: 12345678 = 123412345678
- You should have access to the Remote Desktop service from here. If not, contact Mark V.
