Applies To: All versions of Centrify DirectControl

Problem: 
Users unable to authenticate with error message as 

“Profile Variable %{shell}, not found for user [username], therefore this user has a partial profile” 

Cause:
The filesystem was full. Centrify was unable to read /etc/centrifydc/centrifydc.conf variables while filesystem is at its capacity.

For user profile that has attributes resolved at runtime, like %{shell}, %{home}, ...etc., Centrify will need to read the configuration file /etc/centrifydc/centrifydc.conf  to find parameters with "nss.runtime.defaultvalue.var.*"  in order to replace the value. But when the  filesystem is at its full capacity, adclient will have trouble accessing the file hence not able to replace with runtime value.

Workaround:
N/A

Resolution:
Fix the filesystem capacity. 

Note: In this particular issue, customer encountered the filesystem issue on RHEL6 from multiple Java VM segfaults and core-file creation, caused by RHSA Errata to address CVE-2017-1000364.
Fix was to apply Errata RHSA-2017:1723 or later
