ISAM - Facing DPWBA0311W Unable to contact runtime security services error for step up with email otp

  • 1.  ISAM - Facing DPWBA0311W Unable to contact runtime security services error for step up with email otp

    Hi All,

    I have configured the AAC for the ISAM 9.0.6 appliance.
    As part of my requirement, I wanted to send an OTP over mail for a second-factor authentication after a normal username/password.
    Hence I created a policy as shown in the attached file and attached it to the junction.

    However, I am getting below error
    DPWBA0311W Unable to contact runtime security services

    Infocenter talks about permitting when runtime security service is not available but I don't want to do that and omit the second factor.
    Please suggest where I am missing or configuration might be incorrect.

    Thank you.

    Hello Prashant,

    Make sure you ran the AAC Configuration tool for the Reverse Proxy instance:
    Secure Web Settings -> Manage -> Reverse Proxy ->> _instance_ -> Manage -> AAC and Federation Configuration -> Authentication and Context Based Access Configuration

    The hostname it asks for is the address to your AAC JVM, which if you're using a single appliance is traditionally 'localhost'.

    The default 'easuser' password is 'passw0rd'.

    After running this it will configure the Reverse Proxy to handle the 'rba-pop' requests that were attached when you attached the access control policy to an object.

    Hi Jack,

    I think isam > aac > config does the same thing that you suggested to do from Secure Web Settings -> Manage -> Reverse Proxy ->> _instance_ -> Manage -> AAC and Federation Configuration -> Authentication and Context Based Access Configuration.

    However, I did the configurations again that you suggested and still facing the same issue.
    When I checked the logs I observed below in logs

    message.log
    2020-04-03-09:42:16.676+05:30I----- 0x38CF0460 webseald ERROR wwa http HTTPParser.cpp 946 0x7efd52e39700 -- DPWWA1120E The POST body of the client request contains misformated or invalid data

    Any other things that I should check?

    Hello Prashant,

    You could collect 'pdweb.rtss' tracing and see whether the health checks are working as expected.

    The above message log entries do not related to the DPWBA0311W message.

    If you cannot find the issue from the traces and need them reviewed further you'll need to open a support Case.
