Issue
- When the user logs in to Self-Service Console, it displays the following error:
Sorry, your request cannot be processed at this time. It either has been processed or is bad request. Return to home and try again.
- The [wt_home]/server/logs/imsConsoleTrace.log on the web tier shows the following error:
com.rsa.command.AuditedLocalizableSystemException: COMMAND_EXECUTION_UNEXPECTED_ERROR Caused by: com.rsa.common.SystemException:
Access denied. The authentication request was routed through a load balancer/Proxy server that is not recognized by the system.
- The /opt/rsa/am/server/logs/imsTrace.log shows an unknown IP address:
trace.com.rsa.ims.sso.service.SSOServiceImpl, FATAL, <FQDN of Auth Manager server>,,,,Access denied.
The authentication request was routed through a load balancer <IP address> (This IP is not used to define the virtual host in Operations Console).
- The /opt/rsa/am/server/logs/imsTrace.log shows the following error:
2019-10-14 16:35:04,156, [[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '12' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'], (SSOServiceImpl.java:285),
trace.com.rsa.ims.sso.service.SSOServiceImpl, FATAL, <FQDN of Auth Manager server>,,,,Access denied. The authentication request was routed
through a load balancer <IP address> that is not recognized by the system.
- The opt/rsa/am/server/logs/AdminServer_access.log on Web Tier has the following lines showing the incorrect IP address:

Cause
Resolution
- Login to the primary's RSA Authentication Manager Operations Console.
- Go to Deployment Configuration > Virtual Host & Load Balancing.
- Add the appropriate IP address in Load Balancer Details box and press Add when done.
- Press Save to exit.
Workaround
- SSH to v8.0 appliance as rsaadmin.
- Obtain Database Administrator User ID (rsa_dba) password.
NOTE: the OC Administrator username and returned rsa_dba password shown below are example values only. rsaadmin@am8-p:~> cd /opt/rsa/am/utils rsaadmin@am8-p:/opt/rsa/am/utils> ./rsautil manage-secrets -a get com.rsa.db.dba.password Please enter OC Administrator username: ocadmin Please enter OC Administrator password: ******** com.rsa.db.dba.password: FO3hibQ7dCYPQpeXjHsP7xxwhSpJEK
- Connect to the Authentication Manager 8.x database.
rsaadmin@am8-p:/opt/rsa/am/pgsql/bin> ./psql -h localhost -p 7050 -d db -U rsa_dba
- You will be prompted for the com.rsa.db.dba.password obtained previously. SQL queries can then be run from the command line then bypass the loadbalance IP issue:
rsaadmin@am8p:/opt/rsa/am/pgsql/bin> ./psql -h localhost -p 7050 -d db -U rsa_dba Password for user rsa_dba: psql.bin (9.1.9) SSL connection (cipher: DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA, bits: 256) Type "help" for help. db=#UPDATE RSA_REP.ims_config_value SET value='true' WHERE name='ims.sso.service.bypass_loadbalancer_config_check';
- Finally, restart AM services:
rsaadmin@amp:/opt/rsa/am/server> ./rsaserv restart all
- Check if Webtiers require reinstallation and the issue will be resolved afterwards.
