SDTID File Extension

What is SDTID file?

SDTID filename suffix is mostly used for RSA Soft-token Format files. SDTID file format is compatible with software that can be installed on Windows system platform. Files with SDTID extension are categorized as Encoded Files files. The Encoded Files subset comprises 236 various file formats. RSA SecurID Software Token is by far the most used program for working with SDTID files.

Programs which support SDTID file extension

Programs that can handle SDTID files are as follows. Files with SDTID suffix can be copied to any mobile device or system platform, but it may not be possible to open them properly on target system.

How to open file with SDTID extension?

Being unable to open files with SDTID extension can be have various origins. Fortunately, most common problems with SDTID files can be solved without in-depth IT knowledge, and most importantly, in a matter of minutes. The following is a list of guidelines that will help you identify and solve file-related problems.

Step 1. Install RSA SecurID Software Token software

Problems with opening and working with SDTID files are most probably having to do with no proper software compatible with SDTID files being present on your machine. The solution to this problem is very simple. Download RSA SecurID Software Token and install it on your device. On the top of the page a list that contains all programs grouped based on operating systems supported can be found. If you want to download RSA SecurID Software Token installer in the most secured manner, we suggest you visit website and download from their official repositories.

Step 2. Check the version of RSA SecurID Software Token and update if needed

If the problems with opening SDTID files still occur even after installing RSA SecurID Software Token, it is possible that you have an outdated version of the software. Check the developer’s website whether a newer version of RSA SecurID Software Token is available. Sometimes software developers introduce new formats in place of that already supports along with newer versions of their applications. This can be one of the causes why SDTID files are not compatible with RSA SecurID Software Token. All of the file formats that were handled just fine by the previous versions of given program should be also possible to open using RSA SecurID Software Token.

Step 3. Assign RSA SecurID Software Token to SDTID files

If you have the latest version of RSA SecurID Software Token installed and the problem persists, select it as the default program to be used to manage SDTID on your device. The process of associating file formats with default application may differ in details depending on platform, but the basic procedure is very similar.

The procedure to change the default program in Windows

• Choose the Open with entry from the file menu accessed by right-mouse clicking on the SDTID file
• Select Choose another app → More apps
• To finalize the process, select Look for another app on this PC entry and using the file explorer select the RSA SecurID Software Token installation folder. Confirm by checking Always use this app to open SDTID files box and clicking OK button.

The procedure to change the default program in Mac OS

• By clicking right mouse button on the selected SDTID file open the file menu and choose Information
• Open the Open with section by clicking its name
• Select the appropriate software and save your settings by clicking Change all
• A message window should appear informing that This change will be applied to all files with SDTID extension. By clicking Continue you confirm your selection.

Step 4. Ensure that the SDTID file is complete and free of errors

You closely followed the steps listed in points 1-3, but the problem is still present? You should check whether the file is a proper SDTID file. Problems with opening the file may arise due to various reasons.

1. Verify that the SDTID in question is not infected with a computer virus

If the file is infected, the malware that resides in the SDTID file hinders attempts to open it. Scan the SDTID file as well as your computer for malware or viruses. If the SDTID file is indeed infected follow the instructions below.

2. Verify that the SDTID file’s structure is intact

If you obtained the problematic SDTID file from a third party, ask them to supply you with another copy. The file might have been copied erroneously and the data lost integrity, which precludes from accessing the file. It could happen the the download process of file with SDTID extension was interrupted and the file data is defective. Download the file again from the same source.

3. Ensure that you have appropriate access rights

Some files require elevated access rights to open them. Log in using an administrative account and see If this solves the problem.

4. Check whether your system can handle RSA SecurID Software Token

If the systems has insufficient resources to open SDTID files, try closing all currently running applications and try again.

5. Check if you have the latest updates to the operating system and drivers

Latest versions of programs and drivers may help you solve problems with RSA Soft-token Format files and ensure security of your device and operating system. Outdated drivers or software may have caused the inability to use a peripheral device needed to handle SDTID files.
