Issue
On step 6 of the Appliance setup, the Administrator was assigned a token and when a test authentication was attempted the following error was seen: SDlogin Error : Unable to communicate with Authentication Server
Resolution
Skip step 6 and go to step 7, restart the appliance and the setup should complete successfully.
NOTE: These symtoms will also occur if the license imported on the appliance failed for some reason. To confirm if this is the problem, view the file:
C:\authmanager\installfiles\configurereport.txt
and verify if it contains text similar to this:
Configuring Primary 1.2.3.4 Machinename
