CA Access Control Recognizes All Users as root

Valid on UNIX

Symptom:

When I run the sewhoami utility for a non-root user, CA Access Control recognizes the user as root.

Solution:

To troubleshoot this problem, verify the following in the LOGINAPPL record of the login application:

• The name of the LOGINAPPL record is the name of the login application.
• The LOGINPATH parameter in the LOGINAPPL record specifies the correct, full path to the login application.

  To determine the path to the login application, run a trace then use the login application to log in and log out of CA Access Control. Review the trace to obtain the path.

• The LOGINSEQUENCE parameter in the LOGINAPPL record specifies the correct login sequence for the login application. For assistance, contact CA Support at http://ca.com/support.

Note: CA Access Control does not define LOGINAPPL records for third-party login applications. If you use a third-party login application, manually define the LOGINAPPL record for the application.
