I am testing a client application that authenticates using RSA SecurID hardware tokens. The authentication is failing and I am not finding any useful information in the log files.

I am using Authentication Manager 8.0 and the Java SDK.

I have a traffic capture which I would like to analyze with Wireshark to and from port 5500 on the authentication agent. But I can't find the packet format searching the internet or on the the RSA SecurCare knowledge base.

Can anybody direct me to the packet format?

Here is an extract from the rsa_api_debug.log file which dumps the UDP payload of the request and the response:

It is my understanding that while RSA info can come into your network in a number of ways (usually over HTTP), the actual authentication happens on a RADIUS server using the AAA protocol.

  • The SDK I am using is talking to the Authentication Agent. I think the agent may in turn be making the RADIUS request. But that is not what is passing between the SDK and Authentication Agent. I pasted an extra ct from one of the which dumps the UDP packet payload. Nov 6, 2013 at 15:19
