Issue
This article outlines how to identify the RSA Authentication-Manager 8.x application install platform.
Resolution
- Launch an SSH client, such as PuTTy.
- Login to the primary Authentication Manager server as rsaadmin and enter the operating system password.
Note that during Quick Setup another username may have been selected. Use that username to login.
login as: rsaadmin Using keyboard-interactive authentication. Password:<enter operating system password> Last login: Mon Sep 17 13:11:19 2018 from jumphost.vcloud.local RSA Authentication Manager Installation Directory: /opt/rsa/am
- Issue the following command on the RSA Authentication Manager primary or replica instance(s) where the platform needs to be identified:
rsaadmin@am82p:~> cat /opt/rsa/am/etc/platform
- If the platform is an RSA SecurID hardware appliance, the following output is provided:
rsaadmin@am82p:~> cat /opt/rsa/am/etc/platform hardware
- If the server is a virtual appliance, the following output is provided:
rsaadmin@am82p:~> cat /opt/rsa/am/etc/platform virtual
