Authentication Test with RSA AM 8.6

[cquezada]

Is there a way to test connections to authentication agents in RSA AM 8.6 like in earlier version?

@cquezada,

A belated welcome to the RSA community!

You can still use any RSA Authentication Agent to test connectivity. For example, for the RSA Authentication Agent 7.4.5 for Microsoft Windows installed on a Windows 10 machine,

1. On the Security Console, create an agent record for a new agent (Access > Authentication Agent > Add New).
2. Generate an sdconf.rec file (Access > Authentication Agents > Generate Configuration File).
3. Install the agent, using the configuration file downloaded above. More detailed steps are in the RSA Authentication Agent 7.4 for Microsoft Windows Installation and Administration Guide.
4. Start the authentication activity monitor on the Security Console (Reporting > Real Time Activity Monitors > Authentication Activity Monitor). Be sure to click Start Monitor.
5. From the agent machine, launch the RSA Control Center. Navigate to Advanced Tools > Test Authentication. You will be prompted for a user ID and passcode. Run the test and watch the Authentication Activity Monitor.

If you already have agents that you would like to test, skip to step 4.
