Problem:

When running id or whoami from the command line interface (CLI), the Unix username is not returned and the error "cannot find name for user ID" is returned.  It is possible that the error, "No such user" could also be seen.
  Cause:

The /var directory needs to have 755 or rwxr-xr-x permissions, so that the Centrify socket files (/var/centrifydc/daemon and /var/centrifydc/daemon2) can be reached and accessed correctly.


Resolution:

Verify the /var directory has the correct permissions (755 or rwxr-xr-x).
      

If they are not correct, they can be changed using the chmod command.
      
After changing the permissions, restart the Centrifydc agent.
