Resolution
- Logon with the rsaadmin account when using RSA Authentication Manager Bulk Administration.
- Check the permissions of /opt/rsa/am/utils/lib/AMBulkAdmin.jar. It is expected that AMBulkAdmin.jar has -rw-r--r-- file permissions, is owned by rsaadmin and the group is rsaadmin e.g. -rw-r--r-- 1 rsaadmin rsaadmin 258371 May 13 2013 AMBulkAdmin.jar
- Test the credentials used at the command line with RSA Authentication Manager Bulk Administration with the Security Console and confirm the password is working and that the administrative account has a SuperAdminRole.
- After confirming the credentials are correct and has appropriate administrative rights then consider changing the password, especially if a special character is used in the password e.g. $
