Cause
Resolution
- Configure the proxy server to use SSL Passthrough rather than SSL Termination for the connection from RSA Authentication Manager to the Cloud Authentication Service,
- Import the root certificate from the proxy server into each RSA Authentication Manager instance in the environment that communicates with the Cloud Authentication Service through the proxy. For steps, contact RSA Customer Support.
