Resolution
After upgrading to hotfix 1, you need to verify if the reindexing is successful.
To verify, do the following:
1. Download the hotfix upgrade log “update-8.7.1.1.1-xxx.log” from /opt/rsa/am/server/logs.
2. Search for Executing SQL script /opt/rsa/am/utils/tools/dbrestore/reindex_database_db.sql.
3. Confirm whether the reindex script is executed successfully.
For example,
INFO: Executing SQL script /opt/rsa/am/utils/tools/dbrestore/reindex_database_db.sql [copy] Copying 1 file to /tmp/rsa-install-2023-11-24-09-37-51 [copy] Copying /opt/rsa/am/utils/tools/dbrestore/reindex_database_db.sql to /tmp/rsa-install-2023-11-24-09-37-51/reindex_ database_db.sql [exec] REINDEX [delete] Deleting: /tmp/rsa-install-2023-11-24-09-37-51/reindex_database_db.sqlA successful execution of the script indicates that the PostgresSQL server has been reindexed successfully and no further action is required.
If the script fails to execute with an <error> , contact RSA Customer Support.
Workaround
1. Add a report with "List all Authentication Agent Records" template and run the report.
2. Download and examine the report with your preferred spreadsheet to see if there are any duplicate agent records.
3. In Microsoft Excel, highlight the column A and click Conditional Formatting > Highlight Cells Rules > Duplicate Values
4. If required, use filter by color to locate the fields.
5. Search the agent records in Security Console > Access > Authentication Agents > Manage Existing and delete them manually
