Hi,
Remote AMBA Version: 1.6.0 Build 107
We updated off from AM 8.2 SP1 Patch 7 to 8.4 Patch 3.
8.2 SP1 P7 > 8.3 > 8.4 > 8.4 P3
After the update it seems like Remote-AMBA no longer works.
Get the following Error in the command prompt for the following example:
C:\1\RemoteAMBA\bin>remoteamba --ini amba.ini -a testadmin -C 11012092 -i ..\input.csv
Error 2004: Unable to communicate with serverFailed to connect with command server
I checked trace logs under remoteamba\logs:
ERROR, workstation101.localdomain,,,,Attempting downgraded connection protocol to EJB/2.1.
ERROR, workstation101.localdomain.com,,,,Unable to connect to downgraded EJB/2.1 command server.null
Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve it?
Have not made any changes to R-AMBA before update.
Prefer using Remote-AMBA rather than the built-in AMBA due to security reasons below:
Not having to use rsaadmin credentials.
No SSH into Primary instance
Multiple Admins are able to leverage R-AMBA with their own ID and passcode over using rsaadmin password.
On another note, why is RSA not supporting R-AMBA anymore?
I opened a ticket with Support only to be told R-AMBA not supported.
Have tested out the built-in AMBA on 8.4 and I am quite pleased with new features being added such as extend tokens in bulk.
.
However is seems like when it comes to actual security, a backseat approach is taken by RSA where Enterprise level clients requiring bulk level changes, have to resort to using rsaadmin credentials regularly to leverage AMBA.
R-AMBA addressed this issue quite well and I am disappointed, on the backward approach.
I am hoping there is a future road map on supporting R-AMBA
Was able to get it working.
It is all based on SSL handshake failing due to R-AMBA using TLS 1.1 and 8.4 requiring 1.2.
Anyone using Remote AMBA and is on 8.4 or above, follow the instructions below:
wlfullclient.jar needs to be updated in the R-AMBA package located on R-AMBA jars folder.
Updated file is from AM 8.4 extras SDK Package located in RSA Authentication Manager SDK\lib\java.
Now to work on getting AMBA 8.4 P3 file to work with R-AMBA to leverage new features.
