Why do I get the message 'The password must be at least 6 characters long' installing activeMQ, if the password is longer?

Products

• CA Virtual Privilege Manager
• CA Privileged Identity Management Endpoint (PIM)
• CA Privileged Access Manager (PAM)

Issue/Introduction

I have the following error in the ActiveMQ installation for PIM 14:

# ./install_ActiveMQ.bin -i console
...
===============================================================================
Web Console Settings
--------------------
Please define the port, administrator username, and password for the ActiveMQ
Web Console.
Web Console Port:  (Default: 8161):
Administrator Username:  (Default: admin):
===============================================================================
Web Console Settings
--------------------
Web Console Administrator Password::
===============================================================================
Invalid Password
----------------
The password must be at least 6 characters long


I tried to introduce different passwords with numbers, alphanumeric characters, capital letters... but we always received the same message "The password must be at least 6 characters long"

Why do I get the message 'The password must be at least 6 characters long' installing activeMQ, if the password is longer?

Environment

ActiveMQ for PIM 14.

Resolution

A likely cause for this problem to occur is having the /tmp folder attributes with non execution permission (rw-).
If this is the case, the solution would be setting the proper permissions (rwx) to the /tmp folder.
