HP-UX AAA Server A.08.00.01 Release Notes

Known Problems
• Using the HP-UX AAA Server Manager, if you modify a realm, whose User
Profile Storage value is SQL Access, and the SQL Action Id value is
more than 16 characters long, the HP-UX AAA Server Manager inserts a set of
<br> characters in the SQL Action Id string while saving the value in the /etc/
opt/aaa/authfile and /etc/opt/aaa/EAP.authfile files. This problem
occurs while changing the values of attributes other than the SQL Action Id,
in the Modify screen. Also, this problem is observed when Radius Attribute
is selected for User Storage Parameter.
Workaround: Every time you want to modify a realm using the HP-UX AAA
Server Manager, reselect the correct SQL Action Id value that does not include
the <br> tag, in the SQL Action Id drop-down menu. If Radius Attribute
is used to configure the SQL action, remove the unwanted <br> characters from
the Radius Attribute field.
• When a realm is configured with a comment that includes spaces, the HP-UX AAA
Server Manager removes the realm entry while saving the configuration in the
/etc/opt/aaa/authfile and /etc/opt/aaa/EAP.authfile files.
Workaround: Do not include spaces in the comments.
• Decreased RADIUS response time under heavy load due to increased CPU
consumption.
NOTE: This problem occurs with the HP-UX AAA Server A.08.00.01 on HP 9000
systems running HP-UX 11i v2 or HP-UX 11i v3. HP Integrity® systems running
HP-UX 11i v2 or HP-UX 11i v3 are not affected.
Workaround 1: Utilize the pthread environment variable that minimizes pthread
overhead for the HP-UX AAA Server in the environment where the radiusd
daemon is launched:
$export PTHREAD_FORCE_SCOPE_SYSTEM=ON
Workaround 2: Install the PHCO_35997 pthread library patch on HP 9000 systems
running HP-UX 11i v2, or PHCO_37477 on HP 9000 systems running HP-UX 11i
v3. These patches are available at:

• The HP-UX AAA Server leaks memory when the SQL Access feature uses the
MySQL Unix ODBC/MySQL client to interact with a MySQL database.
