Procedure
- Launch an SSH client, such as PuTTy.
- Login to the primary Authentication Manager server as rsaadmin and enter the operating system password.

- Navigate to /opt/rsa/am/utils:
cd /opt/rsa/am/utils
- Run one of the following commands:
- To set the limit for active tokens per user, type the following, and then press Enter:
./rsautil store -a add_config auth_manager.admin.maximum_usable_tokens <n> GLOBAL 501
where <n> is an integer between 1 and 3 that specifies the maximum number of active tokens allowed per user. For values outside the range [1,3], Authentication Manager uses the default limit of three active tokens.
- To set the limit for active tokens per user, type the following, and then press Enter:
- To change the limit after setting it for the first time, type the following, and then press Enter:
./rsautil store -a update_config auth_manager.admin.maximum_usable_tokens <n> GLOBAL 501
where <n> is an integer between 1 and 3 that specifies the maximum number of active tokens per user. For values outside the range [1,3], Authentication Manager uses the default limit of three active tokens.
- When prompted, enter your Operations Console administrator user ID, and press Enter.
- When prompted, enter your Operations Console administrator password, and press Enter. 6.
