"Internal error or invalid string" message in selang on 14.1 CP3

Products

• CA Privileged Access Manager - Server Control (PAMSC)
• CA Privileged Identity Management Endpoint (PIM)

Issue/Introduction

The selang command output shows error or is garbled on Japanese environment.

This happens all of Japanese character code, SJIS, EUC and UTF-8.

This doesn't happen on selang -l after stopping PIM/PAMSC.

 

This happens on AIX and Solaris but not on Linux.

This happens on PAMSC 14.1 CP3 and PIM 12.8 SP1 CP3 / CP4 (AIX only).

 

Environment

Release : 14.1

Component : PAM SERVER CONTROL ENDPOINT UNIX/LINUX

 

Release : 12.8

Component : PIM ENDPOINT UNIX/LINUX

Cause

CAWIN is no longer used on the latest release but it is not considered on some modules

 

Resolution

This is fixed in DE513172 and the fix will be included into next release.

The next release will have no CAWIN package included. 

 

The workaround is to run following to install CAWIN manually:

 

-----
# CAWIN_APP_NAME="eAC"
# export CAWIN_APP_NAME
# CAI18N_APP_NAME="eAC"
# export CAI18N_APP_NAME
# CAWIN_INSTALL_DIR=/opt/CA/SharedComponents/cawin
# export CAWIN_INSTALL_DIR
# chmod 555 /opt/CA/PAMSC/data/CAWIN/CAWIN.AIX.sh
# /opt/CA/PAMSC/data/CAWIN/CAWIN.AIX.sh > /opt/CA/PAMSC/data/CAWIN/cawin_log_file 2>&1
-----

 

On Solaris, execute CAWIN.Solaris.sh instead of CAWIN.AIX.sh.
