Products

• CA Identity Manager
• CA Identity Suite

Issue/Introduction

If you experience issues while using the pwdmgr tool, you can troubleshoot the process by using the strace utility. This allows you to monitor system calls and capture detailed execution logs in real-time.

Environment

Identity Manager 14.5 & 15

Resolution

Debugging Procedure

1. Prepare the environment: Open two separate terminal sessions to your Linux or vApp console.

2. Start the tool in the first window: Log in as the imps user and execute the pwdmgr tool: su - imps ./pwdmgr

3. Identify the Process ID (PID) in the second window: While the tool is running, identify its process ID: ps aux | grep pwdmgr

4. Attach strace to the process: In the second terminal window, attach the strace utility to the identified PID: su - imps strace -p <PID>

5. Monitor execution: Return to the first window and proceed with the actions in pwdmgr. All system calls and logging details will now be displayed in the second terminal window for analysis.
