Issue
The RSA Authentication Agent 7.4.3 for Windows queries Microsoft Active Directory (AD) through a Microsoft API to determine AD group membership when the RSA Authentication Agent is configured to require SecurID authentication for a subset of users.
Cause
In some environments, that query intermittently failed but the RSA Authentication Agent did not handle that failure.  As a result, the RSA Authentication Agent did not correctly determine whether or not to challenge the user.
