Common Proxy Repair Script for OES

Uses:

I recommend running this script if you have services that are failing to start due to authentication, or if you suspect an issue with the Common Proxy User, such as missing user or incorrect password.

Description:

The Common Proxy Repair script checks and fixes all aspects of the Common Proxy user including:

  • Common Proxy user is set in /etc/opt/novell/proxymgmt/proxy_users.conf
  • Common Proxy credentials are set in CASA
  • Common Proxy credentials for OES services (stored in CASA or file)
  • Common Proxy User exists in edir
  • Common Proxy User does not have Intruder Lockout
  • Common Proxy Universal Password Policy exists
  • Common Proxy User is assigned to Common Proxy UP Policy
  • Proxy user setting in /etc/sysconfig/novell/ files
  • change_proxy_pwd.sh script is in crontab


Executing this script on a working system is not harmful as long as the correct user is selected/specified.

See /var/log/common-proxy-fix.log for debug messages

Usage:
