Issue
Error: "The input line is too long" and "The syntax of the command is incorrect" when starting managed Authentication Servers
Cause
The combination of configuration options, installation directory, and passwords have made the command line too long for the Windows cmd application
Resolution
To correct this issue, move the files listed below to the directories specified. You must create the \ext\ target subdirectories.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure you copy each set of files to each target directory; the source files should no longer appear in the source directories after you are finished

Move these files from install_dir\rsaappserver\lib\ to install_dir\rsaappserver\bea\jdk131\lib\ext\ and install_dir\rsaappserver\bea\jdk131\jre\lib\ext\:

commons-beanutils.jar
commons-collections.jar
jdom.jar
ldapbp.jar
log4j.jar
smpp.jar
swsms.jar
xercesImpl.jar
xmlParserAPIs.jar

Move these files from install_dir\rsaappserver\ctlib\ to install_dir\rsaappserver\bea\jdk131\lib\ext\ and install_dir\rsaappserver\bea\jdk131\jre\lib\ext\:

jce1_2-do.jar
