15:59:01:556 [*] [MuxWorker-6] - result: {EXCEPTION_TYPE=TokenException, EXCEPTION_MESSAGE=User must be specified in the map}
Cause
"A valid user must be specified in the map"
It is possible to create a call to create a user token by passing an invalid username, but the token creation will fail in this manner. This error typically only occurs when a custom server hook is in use because in the normal RSA Access Manager program flow the RSA code would not attempt to create a token for a user that does not exist.
