GWIA 18.1.0 crashes after preplasing certificate

[raronson]

We have groupwise-server-18.1.0-132269.x86_64 deployed on sles 12 sp3. It's been running well for months. Last week we replaced our Digicert certificates that were set to expire across our entire system, that's 5 POA, 5 MTAs and 4 GWIAs. I use this gwia to send and receive to our mail filter company and this system is sued for imap connections.

This is the only host that has problems. I'm getting general protection errors from libpthread-2022.so at least once if not 3 or 4 times per day. I've got GWmonitor and gwha running and it's doing a good job of restartinging the agent.

I've checked the gwia log in debug mode, made sure there's enough space on the filesystem, and tried unsuccessfully to correlate firewall logs with the time that the agent fails. So far no patters. If anyone has some ideas I'd live to hear them before opening an incident with Microfocus.

Thanks
Rob A.

Hi Rob,

Seeing as it's on SLES12 I strongly recommend following the instructions in this TID: https://support.microfocus.com/kb/doc.php?id=7019037

After you have done all of the TID, run this command:

ldd /opt/novell/groupwise/agents/bin/gwia

In the output from the above command libpthread.so.0 should reference /lib64/noelision/libpthread.so.0

If you do open an SR the above would probably be amongst the first steps they'd ask you to do.

Cheers,

Thanks Laura. I'd seen this information but discounted it believing the issues would have been resolved on SLES12 SP3 and Groupwise 18.1. I was also thinking it could be something else because it had worked for months prior to replacing the certificate.

Hi Rob,

I do not believe the "elision" issue is a GroupWise defect/bug. See here: https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc/?id=7022289 and look at "Cause".
