Issue
  • An RSA Authentication Manager 8.5 embedded identity router fails to upgrade to version 12.10.
  • The Administration Console's identity router status indicators for Last Software Update and Software Update Service are both red after the attempted update.
  • The identity router version number has not changed.
Cause
Restarting the embedded identity router can cause a problem with the /etc/resolv.conf file.
Resolution
This will be fixed in an upcoming hotfix and/or patch to the embedded identity router.
Workaround
From the RSA Authentication Manager command line,
  1. Connect to the embedded identity router.
  2. Change to the root user.
  3. Update the /etc/resolv.conf file to include 127.0.0.1 as the first nameserver:
rsaadmin@am85:~> docker exec -it idr-container /bin/bash
am85:/ # vi /etc/resolv.conf

search example.com
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 127.0.0.11
options ndots:0
  1. Save and close the resolv.conf.
  2. Attempt the identity router update again.
