SecurID authentication manager ODA delivery logs

[JohnRumball]

Where can I find these types of logs in AM v8.2?  I'm guessing there should be a record of an ODA token being delivered to a user, either by SMS or by email.  I know there are logs recorded when authentication is successful, but to me, there should be a record of the delivery attempt even before authentication occurs.

This has come up because we are trying to troubleshoot the regular occurrence of delayed token delivery, specifically by email.

Thanks in advance.

John

I've moved your question to the RSA SecurID Access" data-type="space space where it will be seen by the product's support engineers, other customers and partners.  Please bookmark this page and use it when you have product-specific questions.

Alternatively, from the RSA Customer Support" data-type="space‌ page, click on Ask A Question on the blue navigation bar and choose Ask A Product Related Question.  From there, scroll to RSA SecurID Access" data-type="space and click Ask A Question.  That way your question will appear in the correct space.

There is not a way in the web browser interface to do this.

However, to do temporary troubleshooting looking for an issue there are two advanced level debug actions that can be performed on the Primary, and logs will be in /opt/rsa/am/server/logs directory of (Primary or Replica).

This will result in enhanced debug output in the /opt/rsa/am/server/logs/imsTrace.log, but use caution as if you leave this debug on, over time (weeks/months) the trace logs may fill up too much disk space,  and you'll need to monitor how much extra logs and disk space you use with these commands.

--------------------------

Trace SMS 

/opt/rsa/am/utils

./rsautil set-trace -c trace.com.rsa.authmgr.internal.smsplugin -l VERBOSE

Trace SMTP  (this will be the one you want, also on Replicas)

/opt/rsa/am/utils

./rsautil set-trace -c trace.com.rsa.ims.smtp -l VERBOSE

to enable trace for Replica(s), use the Primary command line....

./rsautil set-trace -c trace.com.rsa.ims.smtp -l VERBOSE -i ReplicaInstance -n

----------------------------------------------

Example of What you can see in the log, I have only the smtp example:

2019-02-22 15:52:08,928, [[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '0' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'], (SMTPServiceImpl.java:796), trace.com.rsa.ims.smtp.impl.SMTPServiceImpl, DEBUG, edavis-vm150.na.rsa.net,,,,Sending mail to: [administrator@farmco.local], with subject: Your On-Demand Tokencode
2019-02-22 15:52:08,956, [[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '0' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'], (SMTPServiceImpl.java:816), trace.com.rsa.ims.smtp.impl.SMTPServiceImpl, DEBUG, edavis-vm150.na.rsa.net,,,,Message successfully sent to: [administrator@farmco.local], with subject: Your On-Demand Tokencode

Now, this is in VERBOSE level, there are other levels you may want to experiment with

 -l, --level           Level to set to (VERBOSE, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL, NONE)

------------------------------------------

And to see what you have already activated for tracing (so you know what to later disable after troubleshooting)

./rsautil set-trace -s

Trace category settings for this node (overrides settings from the instance):
Trace category settings for specified instance:
trace.com.rsa.authmgr.internal.smsplugin : VERBOSE
trace.com.rsa.ims.smtp : VERBOSE

------------------------------------------

To disable tracing (set back to normal)

put a -r at the end like so and run the trace category

./rsautil set-trace -c trace.com.rsa.authmgr.internal.smsplugin -r
Administrator user ID (RETURN to exit): admin
Enter Administrator password: *********

and so on

./rsautil set-trace -c trace.com.rsa.ims.smtp -r

------------------------------------------

NOTE: If you have a Primary and Replica(s), when users are trying to fetch ODA codes, the RSA AM server that receives the incoming ODA pin request, will be the server sending the outgoing SMS or SMTP, so be aware of additional 'poking around' on Replicas to sort issues.

Also note: to reliably TEST ODA, the Primary Security Console allows you to pick a Replica, and test sending ODA or SMTP, but you actually need to use the Replica Security Console to have that Replica make the attempt...Otherwise the Primary will be doing all the test messages, even if you chose a Replica using the Primary Security Console.

Thanks very much Edward... that's perfect!

John Rumball‌,

No worries, happens all the time.  Welcome to the community!

What if you did not have the debug turned on at the time the message was sent? Is there another way to trace an SMS message?
