Resolution

This error will occur if an administrator is created that does not map to a valid user in a synced Identity Source.  That is, the administrator username must equal the email address of a synced user.

Ensure that the administrator user meets both of the following requirements:

• Is also in an Identity Source (where administrator user name equals a synced user's email address), and
• Has registered an authentication method required by the authentication policy associated with the Administration Console (for example the RSA Authenticate App).

Notes

If no administrator can login after enabling additional authentication please contact RSA Customer Support.
