How to run imps_debug_util.sh in Virtual Appliance:

Information in vApp techdocs.

Debug Utility for Provisioning Server on Linux

 

Environment

Virtual appliance 14.5 and up

Cause

vapp is using different users for administration (config) and Provisioning - imps. 

Resolution

Please make sure to switch to imps user before you try o run the commands.

su - imsp

If you would like to know under which PID Provisioning Server is running please perform:

ps aux

under imps user there will be entry like this

imps        6920  0.0  3.5 712996 576836 ?       Ssl  Nov06   8:08 ./slapd -n im_ps -s 64 -f ../data/im_ps.conf -h ldap://localhost:20389 ldaps://localhost:20390 ldap://ca-prov-srv:20389 ldaps://ca-prov-srv:20390

In this case 6920 is pid you need to use in commands - (-p <process-id>)

or you can point to (-e <executable-file>)

/opt/CA/IdentityManager/ProvisioningServer/bin/slapd

where Provisioning server executable rests.

Most of the time there is no need to do it since script will be able to obtain PID and executable file.
