Issue/Introduction

CA CSM Application Server Fails at Startup with Insufficient Privileges for BPX.SERVER

Symptom:

I cannot start up the CA CSM application server. I see the following messages in the log:

MMS0001E - Insufficient privileges: server requires FACILITY:BPX.SERVER(READ).
13.54.54 JOB47638  BPXP015I HFS PROGRAM /bin/sh IS NOT MARKED PROGRAM CONTROLLED.
13.54.54 JOB47638  BPXP014I ENVIRONMENT MUST BE CONTROLLED FOR SERVER (BPX.SERVER) PROCESSING.

Reason:

The check for privileges that are needed for the CA CSM application server to run has failed.

Solution:

1. Verify whether a sticky bit is on for /bin/sh:

   ls -l /bin/sh
   

   If the sticky bit is on, you get the result similar to the following output, where the letter t represents the sticky bit:

   -rwxr-xr-t  --s-  2 USER01  GROUP  1712128 May  2  2014 /bin/sh
   

   If t is missing, set the sticky bit for /bin/sh:

   chmod +t /bin/sh
   

2. If /bin/sh is executed from a file system that is mounted with the NOSETUID attribute (that is, considered untrusted), remount the file system with the SETUID attribute.
