Cause
There are several possible causes:
  • Misconfiguration of the IIS App Pool.
  • Javascript is disabled in user's web browser.
  • The Web Agent install directory has improper permissions.
Resolution
There are several points to check for fixing this issue:
  1. The WebID component of RSA Web Agent needs to have the SecurID App Pool in use by it from the IIS management interface.

  1. Make sure that Javascript is enabled in the browser from which you are testing.
  2. Make sure the RSA Web Agent install directory has the proper permissions (that is, read/write by the web server named IUSR).

Notes
  1. After making these changes make sure to restart the browser and clear browser cookies.
  2. And most importantly restart the IIS service by opening PowerShell or a command line window and typing:
iisreset
