RSA Product/Service Type: Authentication Manager
RSA Version/Condition: 8.x
Platform: IBM WebSEAL 6.1.1.x
Platform (Other): IBM Security Access Manager (formerly called IBM Tivoli Access Manager)
Issue
- Users cannot authenticate successfully when the RSA SecurID token is in either Next Tokencode Mode or New PIN Mode when authentications originate from an IBM WebSeal in RSA Authentication Manager 8.x.
- If the token is not in Next Tokencode Mode or New Pin Mode, authentication is successful.
- Underlying the IBM WebSeal is the RSA Authentication Agent for PAM.
- Both Next Tokencode Mode and New PIN Mode work as expected with the PAM acetest utility.
- Therefore, the problem is specific to using WebSEAL.
Cause
Resolution
- Create a new setting in the WebSEAL configuration.
create-unauth-sessions = yes
- Restart the WebSEAL application.
This will allow for successful authentications when a token is in either Next Tokencode Mode or New PIN Mode.
