  2. If the credentials are correct, but the error still occurs, manually copy certificates.
Remediation Tasks being pushed to the operations queue through the UCF are not appearing in Archer Cyber Incident & Breach Response as Findings.
  1. Open the Connection Manager using the command prompt:
    • Change directories to <install_dir>\SA IM integration service\data-collector.
    • Type: runConnectionManager.bat
  1. Enter 2 to edit endpoint.
  2. Enter 3 to NetWitness Respond.
  3. Make sure the Target Queue is set to All or Operations.
In the <install_dir>\SA IM integration service\logs\collector.log, there are SSL errors between NetWitness and RSA Unified Collector Framework.
  1. Verify that the SSL certificates are valid.
  2. NetWitness Respond certificates are valid for two years.

  3. If your certificates are expired, regenerate and copy the expired certificates.
  4. To regenerate and copy the certificates:

    1. In the Command Prompt, go to <install_dir>\SA IM integration service\data-collector.
    2. Enter runConnectionManager.bat
    3. Enter the number for Regenerate NetWitness RespondIntegration Service Certificate.

    5. Enter Yes to copy the certificates automatically to the NetWitness trust store.

    If certificates fail to copy, manually copy the certificates.
