RSA Authentication Agent: versions 7.3.1 [48] through 7.3.2 [80]
Issue
"RSA Authentication Agent versions 7.3.1 [48] through 7.3.2 [80] were linked with a BSAFE version where the TLS 1.2 handshake was broken but still worked by negotiating down to TLS 1.1"
Authentication Manager 8.4 and higher uses only TLS 1.2.
SSL Socket Connection Errors can be seen in the System Activity Monitor or by running a System Log Report via the Security Console.

Resolution
| Upgrade your Windows agents to the latest version; that is, an agent later than 7.3.2 [85] for this particular problem. |
