Issue/Introduction

When managing certification campaigns from the Identity Portal interface. from time to time, more often with big campaigns than small ones, the following error occurs:

15:58:37,840 INFO [com.idmlogic.sigma.manager.impl.CertificationManagerBean] (http-/0.0.0.0:8080-10) Starting getting campaigns 15:58:37,848 INFO [stdout] (http-/0.0.0.0:8080-7) [SIGMA APPENDER - FROM WEB] 2018-09-24 15:58:37,844 - WARN org.apache.cxf.phase.PhaseInterceptorChain - Interceptor for {http://ca-governance-prod:8080//eurekify/rest}WebClient has thrown exception, unwinding now 15:58:37,848 INFO [stdout] (http-/0.0.0.0:8080-7) org.apache.cxf.interceptor.Fault: Could not send Message. 15:58:37,928 INFO [stdout] (http-/0.0.0.0:8080-7)

Environment

Release:
Component: SIGMA

Cause

Caused by lack of resources on the Windows server.

Resolution

The problem appears to be caused by lack of resources on the Windows server rather than any issues with Identity Governance.

The message "No buffer space available (maximum connections reached?)" usually indicates that there are no enough ports available.
