Issue
After being added by a colleague to the company's account in the RSA Link Case Management portal, the user receives a registration confirmation email directing them to follow a hyperlink to complete the process.

However, navigating to this hyperlink displays an error page with the following error message:
Image description
Image descriptionHowever, navigating to this hyperlink displays an error page with the following error message:
An error has occurred while processing your request. Please contact RSA Customer Support. Regards, RSA Customer Support
Image descriptionCause
This issue occurs because the user visited the hyperlink before the system had fully processed the new contact addition performed by the colleague.
Resolution
A permanent fix for this issue is in progress and will be deployed once finished.
Workaround
Navigating to the hyperlink for a second time will complete the registration confirmation process successfully.
The page that displays will be blank, as shown below, but this is expected behavior.
Image description
If you attempt to visit the hyperlink for a third time then you will see a confirmation page as shown below. (It is not necessary to see this page.)
Image description
Shortly after visiting the hyperlink for the second time, the user will receive a welcome email similar to the example below.
Image description
Navigating to the link in the welcome email will allow the user to set up one or more risk-based authentication methods for their account, at least one of which is required to activate an RSA Link account.
Image description
After setting up one or both methods, another blank page will display. Similar to the previous occurrence, this is expected behavior for this workaround.
Image description
The user will then receive a final welcome email that contains a temporary password for the new RSA Link account, which can be used to log in to RSA Link.
Image description
Upon logging in with their temporary password the user will be prompted to update it with their own secure password, after which they will be successfully logged in to RSA Link.

If you continue to experience issues with this process even after following the instructions above, please contact RSA Customer Support for further assistance.
