If Step 1: Gather required information and Step 2: Analyze Defender Security Server log have not resolved the issue, further diagnostics may be required, including collecting environmental details and tracing. Contact One Identity Support for advice on how to enable tracing. You will need to provide the version number of the Defender Administration Console and Defender Security Server you are using. Normally, you can find the Defender trace files in the following location: %ProgramData%\One Identity\Diagnostics.
Steps to troubleshoot DIGIPASS hardware token issues are:
If a hardware issue has been ruled out by the previous troubleshooting steps, and user logon is failing, refer to the steps below. Typically the user will receive the message “invalid synchronous response”. This may have a number of causes. Follow the process of elimination below to help diagnose the error.
- Check the token violation count and reset if necessary by using the Properties dialog box provided for the user in the Active Directory Users and Computers tool (use the Defender tab). Re-test user authentication. Ask the user to retry their token.
If the issue persists, go to the next step.
- Check for the use of a PIN on the token. It may be that the user has forgotten to use the PIN or is using an invalid PIN. Reset PIN if necessary. Ask the user to retry their token.
If the issue persists, go to the next step.
- Reset the token by using the Properties dialog box provided for the user in the Active Directory Users and Computers tool (use the Defender tab). Ask the user to retry their token.
If the issue persists, go to the next step.
- If the user receives an “Access denied” message, make sure the user’s account is listed on the Members tab of the corresponding Access Node, or that the user’s account is a member of a group listed for the Access Node. If the user is not defined, the Defender Security Server log includes the error message “User not valid for this route”.
If the issue is not resolved by adding the user to the Access Node, go to the next step.
- Unassign and then re-assign the token to the user. Re-test user authentication.
