httpd -k stop2. Set your environment variable
export USEUDP_ENV_VAR=true3. In Authentication Manager the authentication agent used for the apache server should have an IP address listed, make a note of this IP address.
4. On the RSA Web Agent server, in the /var/ace folder create a file called sdopts.rec and add the following line to it. Replace <IP address of apache agent machine> with the actual IP address from step 3 and no spaces. It should look like this example
CLIENT_IP=192.168.1.2
CLIENT_IP=<IP address of apache agent machine>5. Make sure you put a copy of sdconf.rec in /var/ace on the apache server. You can get the sdconf.rec file via logging into the authentication manager security console, clicking on
Access --> Authentication Agents --> Generate Configuration file. Download the zip and extract the sdconf.rec file from that.
6. Run the following command to ensure permissions are set properly on all files in /var/ace
chmod 755 /var/ace/*6. start apache web server
httpd -k start
