Cause

RSA Authentication Manager Integration Service requires a superadmin account in the RSA Authentication Manager database and it was left in a change password at next logon state after creation.

Resolution

Confirm the RSA Authentication Manager Integration Service superadmin account is working correctly by using the logon credentials with the Security Console of the Authentication Manager primary instance.

Enter the superadmin account logon credentails:

Change the password when prompted:

Use the Authenticate (tdsAuthenticate) and Authentication Manager REST Harness (amServiceHarness) programs to test the RSA Authentication Manager Integration Service configuration after following the Security Console prompts to change the superadmin account password.
