Cannot Install CA Directory r12 SP1 on HP-UX in Trusted Mode

Before you can install or upgrade CA Directory on a HP-UX computer in trusted mode, you must prepare first.

To prepare for installing CA Directory r12 SP1:

1. Make any kernel parameter changes.
2. Rebuild the kernel if required.
3. Add the etrdir group through SAM or by editing /etc/group.

   Ensure that the GID is unique.

   For example:

   etrdir::100:
   

4. Add the dsa user with the primary group etrdir. Do this using SAM or by editing /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow.

   Ensure that the UIDs are unique.

   If you use SAM, do not create the home directories (let DXsetup do this).

   For example:

   dsa:x:1002:100:DXserver 
   Administrator:/opt/CA/eTrustDirectory/dxserver:/bin/csh
   

5. Set the umask to something less severe.

   For example:

   set umask 0022
   

For information about trusted mode, see http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-90121/ch01s03.html.

DXserver does not Start on HP-UX 11.11

When you try to start a DSA, the DSA does not start, and the following message appears:

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: getaddrinfo (code)  from dxserver
IOT trap

This happens because CA Directory r12 SP1 uses the getaddrinfo() function call to provide IPv6 functionality. However, the initial releases of HP-UX 11.11 did not include support for this function. You need to install the HP-UX patch PHCO_31903 or higher before you can run CA Directory.

To check whether you need to upgrade HP-UX:

Use one of these methods:

• Run the System Administration utility (SAM).

  This indicates what software is installed.

• Run the following command:

  nm /usr/lib/libc.sl | grep getaddrinfo
  

  If it returns no rows, then you must install PHCO_31903 or higher before installing CA Directory.

DSA Database File Size Limited to 2 GB by HP-UX PA-RISC

On HP-UX PA-RISC, it is not possible to memory map files of a total size greater than 2 GB. If you are running a single DSA, the DB file cannot be larger than 2 GB. If you are running multiple DSAs, the sum of their sized cannot be greater than 2 GB.

Note: This problem does not affect HP-UX Itanium, because it is 64-bit/.
