Seretrust does not complete and creates zombie process.

Products

• CA Privileged Access Manager - Server Control (PAMSC)

Issue/Introduction

On AIX with PAMSC 14.10.70.54, when the seretrust command is executed, it enters an infinite loop in the system, generating a large number of zombie processes.

Environment

AIX

PAMSC 14.10.70.54

Cause

In PAMSC CP7 a new procedure was introduced with the goal of improving the performance of seretrust inadvertently caused this issue when running the command as a non-admin unix user with PAMSC admin access. 

Resolution

The resolve is to upgrade to PAMSC build 14.10.70.141 

A workaround until you can upgrade is to use either the root user or sudo for other unix accounts.
