Symptoms
- When trying to run the sync-tokens command with a super admin account, an access denied message is displayed.
- The super admin credentials, as well as other parameters, are entered in one line via command line. For example,
./rsautil sync-tokens -u <super admin user ID> -p <super admin password> -o /var/tmp/tokens.log -a -l
- The super admin user can run ./rsautil manage-oc-administrators with the same super admin account.
- The /opt/rsa/am/utils/logs/imsCluTrace.log shows following error:
