Sign-in failure by SIM 5.1 new installation

Udo Hillenbrand — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 08:20:11 GMT

Hello,
I have installed SIM 5.1 on a HP DL360 Proliant Server 64Bit. The Operating System is SUSE Linux Enterprise SLES 10.
The Login Page will displayd into the Browser.
But when I logged in as User root with the password from the OS it will failed with: Sign-in failure ;-(

What can I do???

Hi Udo,
I have had the same problem in sim 5.0 and I solve it following the procedure below. I'm not sure this work also for 5.1.

check into /etc/opt/mx/config/globalsettings.props
if you can find this line:
MX_JVM_OPTS=-XX:MaxPermSize=96m

If there is not, try to insert it, restart sim and try to logging in.

If you still have problem, try to set the value to 128m.

Hi,
to be sure the problem is the one I thought, check if in /var/opt/mx/logs/mxdomainmgr..out you can find something like this:
----------
Runtime Error in generating [an object in the screen]
Exception: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space.
Cause: null.
Message: PermGen space.
----------
If yes, I'm quite sure you have to increase the Java VM memory inserting the line below:

MX_JVM_OPTS = -XX:MaxPermSize=96m

into /etc/opt/vse/vseprefs.props

Restart SIM. If you still have problem set the value to 128m instead of 96m.

If it works I think I deserve some points, don't you think so? :))))

good luck!

Hi, are you sure /etc/opt/mx/config/globalsettings.propsdoes not exist? I see it from your list. Is the 5th from the bottom.

However taking a look on your log, it seems to be a PAM authentication problem.

Take a loof of paragraph "Login Authentication on Linux and HP-UX" of "HP Systems Insight Manager Technical Reference Guide".

http://www.hp.com/wwsolutions/misc/hpsim-helpfiles/sys-book.pdf

regards....have you to pay something for each assigned points? :))))

Hello Lukas,
/etc/opt/mx/config/globalsettings.props exist.
But you have written: /etc/opt/vse/vseprefs.props

In this book is written: PAM Authentifikation default file is /lib/security/pam_unix.so

This file not exist by my system.

but this :
/lib64/security/pam_unix.so

Hi,
unfortunatly I have no many experience in pam configuration, but I think you have to follow this way to solve your problem.
I'm sure you can make it!
good luck!

maybe you can think to insert the pam directory into PATH....

SIM on 64bit linux isn't really supported. The main issue you are having is that SIM is looking for the 32bit PAM version/path for authentication. I'll have to check the workaround for getting you up and running and will post that out.

Van den Broeck Tijl — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 07:53:20 GMT

Darrin: Have you found a workaround for this problem?

As far as I can see in the support matrix SLES10 on AMD64 is supposed to be working (although it did mention Automatic install doesn't work, but doesn't really matter to me).

I'm having exactly the same PAM problem here, a solution without forcing me to go 32bit (as it technically cannot be done in my environment) would come in great.

Hi,

just install the 32-bit pam and pam-modules packages.
