Known Problems and Limitations in HP-UX AAA Server A.07.00

Decreased RADIUS response time under heavy load due to increased CPU consumption.

NOTE: This problem occurs with the HP-UX AAA Server A.07.00 on HP-UX 11i v2 PA-RISC systems only. HP-UX 11i v1 and HP-UX 11i v2 Integrity systems are not affected.

Workaround: 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

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.07.00 on HP-UX 11i v2 PA-RISC systems with the PHSS_31849 (or later) patch only. HP-UX 11i v1 and HP-UX 11i v2 Integrity systems are not affected.

Workaround: Install PHSS_34858 (linker + fdp cumulative patch) on the system where the radiusd daemon is launched.

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.

The HP-UX AAA Server A.07.00 loads all shared libraries in the /opt/aaa/aatv/ directory when starting. Libraries with unresolved external references will cause the startup to fail. User-created libraries for previous versions of the product may also fail during execution. Updating your installation replaces only the libraries originally installed with the product—any user-created libraries will remain.

Workaround: Remove any user-created shared libraries from the /opt/aaa/aatv directory before starting the HP-UX AAA Server.

Unsupported browsers, including Netscape Navigator 7.0 and Mozilla 1.2.X periodically display various Server Manager icons, buttons, and default values incorrectly.

Workaround: Use a supported browser version with Server Manager.
