Issue
When using the vadmin tool in the Utils directory, it is not possible to bind to the external IP address or hostname of machine running the RSA Validation Manager. Only requests to attach to localhost or 127.0.0.1 are successful.
Cause
By default, the RSA Validation Manager only allows connection over the administration port ( by default 1221) from the localhost. This is a security measure.
Resolution
Old entries
Listen 127.0.0.1:1221
...
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:1221>
New Entries
Listen 10.148.146.27.1:1221>
...
<VirtualHost 10.148.146.27:1221>
In this instance the new IP shown should actually be for the network card you wish to bind to.
