Issue
When checking the log file, you will find the following error stack:
17751 2019-08-20 20:52:01,142 INFO: Generating operations console key pair
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: You have loaded library /opt/rsa/am/utils/lib/linux-x86_64/libsystemtools.so
which might have disabled stack guard. The VM will try to fix the stack guard now.
It's highly recommended that you fix the library with 'execstack -c <libfile>', or link it with '-z noexecstack'.
