Fix

Step 1: Stop RSA Services:

Log on to the Appliance operating system using SSH, with the user ID emcsrv and the operating system password

Change to root:

sudo su (enter the Operating System Password)

Switch to the rsaadmin account:

su rsaadmin <enter password>

Insure you are logged in as rsaadmin:

whoami

Shut down RSA services

cd /usr/local/RSASecurity/RSAAuthenticationManager/server

./rsaam stop all (takes about 5 minutes)

Insure services have stopped

./rsaam status all

All services should be SHUTDOWN

Type...

exit

...to return to the emcsrv user account.

Now, switch to the root account by typing:

sudo su -

...and when it asks for a password, use the emcsrv password again.

Operating System shutdown or restart can be done with the following once becoming the root account.

Be sure all Authentication Manager Daemons are stopped. See above.

Examples:
To power down the appliance with a 30 second delay, type the following on the command line:
/sbin/shutdown -h -t 30
If prompted, enter the operating system password

To reboot the appliance immediately, type the following on the command line:
/sbin/shutdown -r now
If prompted, enter the operating system password

Usage: shutdown [-akrhfnc] [-t secs] time [warning message]
-a: use /etc/shutdown.allow
-k: don't really shutdown, only warn.
-r: reboot after shutdown.
-h: halt after shutdown.
-f: do a 'fast' reboot (skip fsck).
-F: Force fsck on reboot.
-n: do not go through "init" but go down real fast.
-c: cancel a running shutdown.
-t secs: delay between warning and kill signal.
** the "time" argument is mandatory! (try "now") **
