Hi all,

I'm havings some issues with RSA Ace/Server 5.0 and FW-1 4.1 SP5. Maybe
somebody have encountered similar problems and know how things work.

The company I'm working on have a Wide Area Network, consisting of
several nordic countries and all ip addresses on WAN are from RFC1918 -
private. Each country has a FW-1. Country NO has a RSA Ace/Server 5.0
configured as Primary. Country SE has a RSA Ace/server 5.0
configured as Slave. Each country have their own ip subnet. On each ip
subnet the WAN router have a default route to the FW-1. This means that
all internet valid addresses are sent to the FW, as well as all RFC1918
addresses not known on WAN.

All FWs are on Nokia platforms.

I configured the FW in SE to use SecurID: Added it as a UNIX Agent Host
on Ace Primary, specified Primary name/ip as the FW external interface
and added the other interfaces as Secondary Nodes. I Also assigned
acting servers specifying Ace slave as Master and Ace Primary as slave.
(The Ace slave is on the same ip subnet as FW internal NIC). Then I
created the sdconf.rec and copied it to /var/ace. After first
successful authentication with a user with a Key Fob the FW got the
encryption secret and saved it as /var/ace/securid

However, when I do exactly the same thing on the FW in FI, the first
authentication works but it seems like it never gets the secret, there
is no securid file. This FW also has the Slave Ace server assigned in
sdconf.rec as Primary. On the Ace server log it shows that
authentication succeeded and the node secret was sent. Note that this
FW are on a different subnet than both Ace servers. A tcpdump on udp
port 5500 on the FW shows that packets are sent to Ace slave from the
internal ip address on the FW and packets are also received from the
Ace server.

Question: Might it be so that the node secret are being sent to the ip
address specified as Primary in the Ace server Agent Host object? This
is the external internet address.

Another issue is with the Ace servers, the activity log on both servers
shows a lot of errors. Examples:

Replica rejecting token modify
Error modifying record
Error creating record
Error deleting record

What could be wrong here? Permission issues? Wronly configured
replication? (I have not configured the Ace servers...)


Grateful for tips and suggestions.
