Environment

• Release : 6.0
• Component : CA COMPLIANCE EVENT MANAGER

Resolution

The RC=111 for the open is caused by you not having the appropriate authorization to access the file because of the permission bits.

Options:

1. Make the LDAP started task acid a superuser
2. Put the LDAP started task acid in a group that is authorized for the file
3. Adjust the files permissions to allow the LDAP started task acid to access the file.

As per level 2, you can delete or rename the file since LDAP doesn't need it to initialize.
