Problem:

Centrify Linux Agent is no longer working properly after AIX v7.1 updated with TL5 patch, and after AIX v7.2 updated with TL2.

AIX machines will experiencing the following issues.
===================================
*high CPU usage, CPU spike
*slow performance
*adclient is not able to restart after reboot​
======================================

Additionally, the following error messages may be seen in the logs:

sshd: PAM: pam_acct_mgmt: error Can not retrieve authentication info






WARN: <main> daemon.ipcserver Exception: OS call Failed: Invalid argument






Cause:

It appears TL5 changed something about select() call which breaks openldap and adclient. 


Workaround: 

We have released one off version of Suite 2017.3 to address this issue, please contact support to request the one off package if it is needed.

Resolution:

It will be fixed in Suite 2018 (CentrifyDC 5.5.0).
