Environment

 

CA Single Sign-On (SiteMinder) AdminUI from 12SP3 and above on Linux

 

Cause

 

It is likely that the installation of the Administrative UI was performed with insufficient temporary directory space.

 

Resolution

 

Check that your temporary folder "/tmp" has enough space, allow more if required. Then uninstall completely the Administrative UI and its prerequisites and install it again.
