The issue is caused by a defect in the RSA Authentication Manager 8.2 SP1 SDK.
Instructions to establish a SOAP connection are in the RSA Authentication Manager 8.2 Service Pack 1 Developer's Guide.
The Developer's Guide is available in the Authentication Manager Extras package (rsa-am-extras-8.2.1.0.0.zip) in folder \am-extras-8.2.1.0.0\Developer Guide. See the section on Advanced Usage > SOAP Connections.

A java.lang.ClassNotFoundException message indicates that a required class file does not exist in the Java CLASSPATH. The general format of the exception text for this type of error is:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: <class-name>
where, <class-name> is the name of a Java class.
If you are getting a java.lang.ClassNotFoundException but the class name in the exception text is not com.rsa.authmgr.integration.access.internal.command.RemoteAuthenticatorTestConnectionCommand, then this knowledge base article and hot fix do not apply. In that situation, search for any other RSA knowledge article that may apply for a ClassNotFoundException message with the class name you are seeing. If none is found, you most likely have a configuration problem with your CLASSPATH and libraries. Check that all required libraries are available in the CLASSPATH, check that they are accessible by your program (e. g., file permissions) and check that the configured Java CLASSPATH points to the right directories/folders.
