RSA Authentication Manager 8.x runs on the SUSE operating system. Follow the steps below to find the version and patch level of the operating system to verify any reported vulnerabilities.
Resolution
  1. Launch an SSH client, such as PuTTY.
  2. Login to the primary Authentication Manager server as rsaadmin and enter the operating system password.

Note that during Quick Setup another user name may have been selected. Use that user name to login.

  1. View either the /etc/SuSE-release or /etc/os-release file, as shown in the following examples:

RSA Authentication Manager 8.1

    rsaadmin@am81p:~> cat /etc/SuSE-release
    SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)
    VERSION = 11
    PATCHLEVEL = 3
    


    RSA Authentication Manager 8.2 and 8.3

    rsaadmin@am82p:~> cat /etc/SuSE-release
    SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)
    VERSION = 11
    PATCHLEVEL = 4


    RSA Authentication Manager 8.4 through 8.6 Patch x

    rsaadmin@am84p:~> cat /etc/os-release 
    NAME="SLES" 
    VERSION="12-SP3" 
    VERSION_ID="12.3" 
    PRETTY_NAME="SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP3"
