  • The customer does not have cloud integration with the RSA Authentication Manager or Prime.
  • The SSP keeps searching for MFA for the user.
Resolution
Cloud integration is enabled by default. Disabling cloud integration in the ssp.properties file fixes the issue
  1. From Windows Explorer, go to the RSA SecurID Access PrimeKit installation folder. 
  2. Browse to /configs/ssp/.
  3. Open the ssp.properties file with Notepad++.
  4. Set enable.sidaccess.integration=FALSE.
  5. Save and close the file.
