Configure Identity Platform for HID hard token provisioning and use

There are two distinct SecureAuth IdP realm configurations required to provision and use HID hard tokens:

Provisioning

HID hard token provisioning which assigns the token to the user profile. To provision HID hard tokens for use in Multi-Factor Authentication, you can use the Account Management (Help Desk) page to add the OATH Seed value of the hard token to user profiles. 

Utilization

Utilization of HID hard tokens for Multi-Factor Authentication in other realms. To enable the use of HID hard tokens for Multi-Factor Authentication in other SecureAuth IdP realm(s), you will need to configure those applicable realms to support HID hard tokens.
