RSA Product Set: SecurID
RSA Product/Service Type:  Authentication Agent for Web for Apache
RSA Version/Condition: 7.x, 8.x
Issue
  • New PIN Mode is working correctly when using acetest from the command line.
  • Trying New PIN Mode from the SecurID login web page gives the following exception:
103: Response to the New PIN Request took too long. Please try again.


 
Cause
The error is due to a configuration issue on the Apache server.
Resolution

Apache is being run by daemon, so the VAR_ACE directory should be owned by daemon. With the command below, change the owner of the VAR_ACE directory recursively.  In this example, VAR_ACE is set to /var/ace:

chown -R daemon:daemon /var/ace

This command will resolve issues with both New PIN Mode and Next Tokencode Mode.
