Resolution
- Connect to the Authentication Manager server via SSH or a direct connection.
- Login as rsaadmin.
- Change to the root user
sudo su
- When prompted, enter the rsaadmin password.
- Open /etc/sysctl.conf in a text editor:
vi /etc/sysctl.conf
- Add the following line (net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_all = 1), shown in bold below the line for net.ipv4.conf.all.promote_secondaries = 1:
# # Disable response to broadcasts. # You don't want yourself becoming a Smurf amplifier. net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts = 1 # enable route verification on all interfaces net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 1 # enable ipV6 forwarding #net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding = 1 # increase the number of possible inotify(7) watches fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 65536 # avoid deleting secondary IPs on deleting the primary IP net.ipv4.conf.default.promote_secondaries = 1 net.ipv4.conf.all.promote_secondaries = 1 net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_all = 1 kernel.shmmax-4195561472 kernel.shmall-1024307
- Press [ESC[ and save and close the file:
:wq!
- Edits to /etc/sysctl.conf will take affect immediately by running sysctl -p, and on reboot of the Autehntication Manager server.
sysctl -p sysctl.conf
