Products

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

Issue/Introduction

I get the following error message when trying to install CA Access Control on a Red Hat Linux server

SEOS_load: dmesg: 
SEOS_load: Executing un/load exit file, /usr/seos/exits/LOAD/SEOS_load_int.always -post 
SEOS_load: SEOS_syscall WASN'T loaded 

/var/log/messages showed the following error messages 

<Month date time> <hostname> seload[390316]: Loading CA ControlMinder kernel extension. 
<Month date time> <hostname> seload[390316]: Error 1 in loading CA ControlMinder kernel <hostname> seload[390316]: Loading CA ControlMinder kernel extension. 
<Month date time> <hostname> seload[390316]: Error 1 in loading CA ControlMinder kernel <hostname> seload[390316]: Error 1 in loading CA ControlMinder kernel.

Cause

UEFI Secure Boot was enabled in this Oracle Exadata machine.

Environment

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.10 (Santiago) 4.1.12-94.8.6.el6uek.x86_64 #
Privileged Identity Manager 12.8 SP1

Resolution

In OEL Exadata machine Secure Boot needs to be disabled to load CA Privileged Identity Manager kernel.
Once UEFI Secure Boot was disabled in this Oracle Exadata machine, CA Privileged Identity Manager kernel loaded fine.
