Issue
An administrator has a requirement to install or re-install web tier software. During the installation of the web tier software the install just terminates and the web tier installation log reports a 'Terminated' message (as shown below in the example).

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: You have loaded library /RSA/webtier/webtierBootstrapper/utils/lib/linux-x86_64/libsystemtools.so which might have disabled stack guard. The VM will try to fix the stack guard now.
It's highly recommended that you fix the library with 'execstack -c <libfile>', or link it with '-z noexecstack'.
Terminated

 
Cause
Third-party software (e.g. Cylance) on the host server for the web tier is stopping the installation of the web tier software.
Resolution
Where you have third-party software protecting the host operating system or server then ensure you have excluded the folders where the web tier software is being installed from and being installed into.

For example; the RSA Authentication Manager Setup and Configuration Guide in Chapter 5 provides installation instructions for the web tier software on Windows and Linux platforms. On a supported Linux server the administrator is asked to place the web tier software in /tmp/Webtier folder and by default the web tier is installed into the /opt/RSASecurity/RSAAuthenticationManager/Webtier folder. Both /tmp/Webtier and /opt/RSASecurity/RSAAuthenticationManager/Webtier would need to be excluded in the third-party software configuration.
