Issue/Introduction
We have UNIX Authentication Broker (UNAB) installed on some boxes but cannot see the relevant entities of these in the WorldView of the Enterprise Manager UI.
Environment
Release: All supported UNIX Authentication Broker UNAB versions as of October 2023.
Component: UNAB r12.x, ENTM 12.x, pamsc 14.x
Resolution
UNAB's agent component is sending a heartbeat every 60 minutes (default) to the Distribution Server which will forward it to the ENTM.
This value can be modified in
# vi /opt/CA/uxauth/uxauth.ini...; Specifies the interval in seconds for sending heartbeat to the CA ControlMinder Distribution Host (DH); Default value: 3600heartbeat_send_interval = 3600...
Should the issue still remain please submit the following commands in a root shell of the UNAB box:
# /opt/CA/uxauth/lbin/uxauthd.sh stop# rm -rf /opt/CA/uxauth/log/debug/*# /opt/CA/uxauth/lbin/uxauthd.sh restart# /opt/CA/uxauth/bin/uxconsole -debug -m agent -v 3
-> wait for at least the duration of your configured heartbeat_send_interval or better keep it running for let's say three hours
-> collect /opt/CA/uxauth/log/debug/agent_debug
-> restart UNAB to disable the trace again
# /opt/CA/uxauth/lbin/uxauthd.sh restart
Please see the file /opt/CA/uxauth/log/debug/agent_debug

You should NOT see something like...20160922204806.375141 T3995851456 L 1: ACMQ_Init: Failed to connect to the Distribution Server, error = 11 (Server not connected)...
UNAB's heartbeat destination is controlled by this token in/opt/CA/AccessControlShared/accommon.ini ... Distribution_Server = ssl://FQDN.of.DS:7243 ...
Please confirm the TCP connectivity between the UNAB host and the specified Distribution Server and the communication port (7243) being unblocked.
Also, should it become necessary please issue on the UNAB box this command in a root shell# ./acuxchkey -t -pwd <password>
to set the communication password you used for the installation of the ENTM
Reboot the box and confirm UNAB and the ReportAgent started up correctly.
The UNAB's agent module will send a heartbeat to the TIBCO message Q on the DS to register.
After a few minutes at the most you should find a representation of the UNAB box in ENTM WorldView etc.
