Client Response Delay is changed to 0 from the default value of 2 
(Go to Security Console > Setup > System Settings and Click Agents link from Authentication Settings)

Resolution

If you expect the change of RADIUS server behavior, need to update agent Configuration File manually as Authentication Manager RADIUS server is also an agent to RSA Authentication Manager server.

• Manual update to configuration files on any replica or authentication agents in your deployment
• Manual restart of all servers

1. Go to Security Console, click Setup > System Settings.
2. Under Authentication Settings, click Agents.
