Issue
In RSA Authentication Manager 8.3 and prior you can check the status of iptables by running the command service iptables status. The output is as follows:
rsaadmin@am82r1:~> sudo su - rsaadmin's password: <enter operating system password> am82r1:/ # service iptables status Checking iptables status running am82r1:/ #
In Authentication Manager version 8.4, running the same command provides the following output:
rsaadmin@am84p:~> sudo su -
rsaadmin's password: <enter operating system password>
am84p:~ # service iptables status
● iptables.service - LSB: iptables
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/iptables; bad; vendor preset: disabled)

am84p:~ # Notes
Beginning with RSA Authentication Manager 8.4 SUSE Linux 12 is the underlying operating system as opposed to SUSE Linux 11 that was used with Authentication Manager 8.3 and prior.
Due to these operating system updates, SUSE Linux exhibits the updated status shown above. This change in status does not have any impact on RSA Authentication Manager configuration and functionality.
