Set LD_PRELOAD for Apache/Linux SAML Affiliate Agents

For the SAML Affiliate Agent v6.x on an Apache server running Linux, you must set the LD_PRELOAD environment variable as follows:

LD_PRELOAD=saml_affiliate_agent_home/bin/plugins/libbtunicode.so

Setting the LD_PRELOAD environment variable binds the libbtunicode.so library to all applications executed by the user account for which it is set.

Important! Reset the LD_PRELOAD variable to its original value before you uninstall the SAML Affiliate Agent.

If this variable is not set, the following problems may occur:

You may encounter a core file generated when the Affiliate Agent shuts down. You can avoid the core file generation by configuring the LD_PRELOAD environment variable.
When a SAML Affiliate Agent is running on an Apache Web Server, a load change may spawn multiple child processes that eventually consume 100% of the CPU cycles.
