RSA ACE/Server
Issue
Users cannot successfully perform a SecurID authentication
In /var/log/messages, the following message is recorded: [LOG_ERR] ACEAGENT: The message entry does not exist for Message ID: 1008
Cause
Resolution
1. Create the sdopts.rec file in the /var/ace directory
2. Using VI, edit the sdopts.rec file and insert the line:
CLIENT_IP=10.10.111.10 {main_ip_address ## as determined in step 1}
3. On the ACE/Server, create a new node. The main IP address is the "unique" IP address you determined in step 1.
4. Define as secondary IPs the IP addresses used as source IP address in the SecurID packet send to the SecurID server (NOTE: You can determine the address by sniffing an ACE request on the ACE/Server).
5. Stop and start FW-1 and try to authenticate.
