Here is some interesting problem with RSA ACE server that I’ve encountered.
Symptoms:
1. The servers is restarting automatically. You are able to login but after a minute or sow you get the message with counter ‘System Shutdown:This System is Shutting down. Please save all work in progress and log off. Any unsaved changes will be lost’
The message should tell you that RSA ACE is restarting the server.
2. In Event viewer Application. You should see plenty of ACESERVER 15004 errors.
In systems event log you should see many Service Control Manager 7031 errors.
Under services most Automatic RSA ACE services would not be running and when you try to start RSA ACE/Server authentication engine it would not start.
