Issue/Introduction

 

We're running a Policy Server and this one reports errors :

  [10121/140254820423424][Tue May 26 2020
  11:07:22][SmObjProvider.cpp:181][ERROR][sm-Server-03090] Policy
  store failed operation 'CleanAgentCmds' for object type 'Policy
  store provider' . LDAP Error Deleting AgentCommand object: 32: No
  such object

  [10121/140254820423424][Tue May 26 2020
  11:07:22][SmPolicyServer.cpp:1899][ERROR][sm-Server-00620] Exception
  in JournalThread. Text: Policy store failed operation
  'CleanAgentCmds' for object type 'Policy store provider'. LDAP Error
  Deleting AgentCommand object: 32: No such object

More, when we use the LDAP ODSEE UI tool to search the servercommand4
and smagentcommand4 objects, the tool reach time out and is unable to
give the result :

 (&(smServerCommandOID4=*)(objectclass=smservercommand4))
and
 (&(smServerCommandOID4=*)(objectclass=smagentcommand4))

Error

  The time limit used to complete the search is 20 seconds. Your
  search exceeds this limit. Note that if you are trying to search on
  non indexed attributes the search will be slow

  it logs following in policy store logs

  [26/May/2020:11:11:47 +0100] - WARNING<20805> - Backend Database -
  conn=1646 op=373 msgId=374 - search is not indexed
  base='ou=netegrity,dc=policystore'
  filter='(&(smServerCommandOID4=*)(objectClass=smservercommand4))'
  scope='sub'

How can we fix this ?

 

Environment

 

Policy Server 12.8SP3 on RedHat 6;

 

Resolution

 

At first glance, you get this issue because indexes are broken and you
need to reindex the Policy Store data to solve the issue. The patch of
the ODSEE Ldap server helps to avoid what you mentioned here :

  To fix DSCC bug that breaks ancestorid post re-indexing

which means, after re-indexing, you won't face the ancestorid issue
and re-indexing, so you probably won't have to do this :

  /usr/dsee7/bin/dsadm reindex -t ancestorid /usr/ldap/policystore/ "dc=policystore"
  /usr/dsee7/bin/dsadm reindex -t ancestorid /usr/ldap/policystore/ "ou=netegrity,dc=policystore"

About the index broken, this can be caused by ldap synchronization
problem and also a machine time problem between both Policy Server
machines.

Note that 

  - The upgrade of the ODSEE (applying a patch) won't prevent ldap
    synchronization problem nor machine time problem between both
    Policy Server machines;
