RSA Product/Service Type: MFA Authentication Agent
Issue
The acetest functionality of earlier RSA agents has been deprecated with the new MFA agents that use REST.
Resolution
After installing the MFA agent and enabling OpenSSH, test the connection by accessing the REST server URL with any browser or http client. For example, enter https://HOSTNAME:PORT/mfa/v1_1/authn. for a PAM agent and https://HOSTNAME:PORT/mfa for a Windows agent.
Because you are not currently authenticating, your browser or http client should display a Forbidden or Unauthorized HTTP response.
