HP-UX AAA Server A.08.02 Release Notes

• The HP-UX AAA Server Manager pages using applets throw java exception NullPointerException
when any browser with Java 1.6.0_12 or later is used.
Workaround: None. If you encounter this problem, contact the HP support personnel.
• 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 http://www.hp.com/go/hpsc.
• 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.
NOTE: This problem occurs with the HP-UX AAA Server A.08.00.01 on HP 9000 systems
running HP-UX 11i v2 with the PHSS_31849 (or later) patch only. HP 9000 systems running
HP-UX 11i v3, and HP Integrity systems running HP-UX 11i v2 or HP-UX 11i v3 are not affected.
Workaround: Install PHSS_34858 (linker + fdp cumulative patch) on the HP 9000 system
running HP-UX 11i v2, where the radiusd daemon is launched.
Known limitations
• Using stored procedure output parameters with MySQL databases will result in NULL values
for SQL Access output mappings. Input mappings can be processed normally with MySQL
stored procedures.
Workaround: Utilize direct SQL statements for SQL Actions requiring output data from MySQL
databases.
• The HP-UX AAA Server does not recognize realm aliases for local realms configured with
local user file storage.
Workaround: Configure separate realms for each alias
