Issue
Successfully add a replica instance to an RSA Authentication Manager (AM) 8.1 deployment that has had data migrated from 7.1
Attachment of a replica instance fails with an error.

Install_logs/config/config.sh_Appliance_configureReplica_xxx.log contains the error:

Exception in thread "Main Thread" com.rsa.ims.security.keymanager.sys.InvalidPasswordException: Invalid password, failed to decrypt system key 
Root cause: com.rsa.jsafe.JSAFE_PaddingException: Invalid padding. 

Cause
The problem is that the Operations Console admin password that was used to create the replica package does not match the current password.
Resolution
Create a new operations Console administrator and then generate a new replica package.  Use this new replica package to attach the replica.
