Selang Commands Slow In Solaris

Products

• CA Privileged Access Manager (PAM)

Issue/Introduction

After installing or upgrading PAMSC on Solaris, some selang commands are taking multiple seconds to complete.

Example:

# selang -s -c "sr file _default"
(localhost)

Data for FILE '_default'
------------------------------
Defaccess     : R,X,ChDir

real    0m5.91s
user    0m0.07s
sys    0m0.03s

Environment

Solaris-based PAM Server Control endpoints

Cause

A previously internal seos.ini token, zlog_sync_delay, was causing the delay.

Resolution

Use the PAMSC command below to change the value of the zlog_sync_delay token to 0 while PAMSC is running.

# seini -s seosd.zlog_sync_delay 0

Additional Information

The default value for zlog_sync_delay has been changed to 0 for new PAMSC builds as of March 2025. It will appear in seos.ini as follows.

; Specifies a delay to be introduced in request processing cycle (in microseconds).
; Please do not change this value unless directed to by support.
; Default Value: 0
zlog_sync_delay = 0
