Problem

CFT on AIX cannot be started from Central Governance and remains on Status 'Starting'

Starting CFT on the AIX server with 'cft start' works fine and this is visible in CG as Started.

Copilot log show error:

ERR CFTE PID=5701734 ERROR : Start command is not authorized by server (0/0). StartCft_EXP_CMD()

Resolution

The error 'ERROR : Start command is not authorized by server (0/0). StartCft_EXP_CMD()' only appears when the user who starts Copilot is not identical to the $LOGNAME variable.

Check if the LOGNAME variable on your system is not defined as 'read only'.

Usually, the' readonly' setting is made for audit/security purposes (tracking user activity).

If this setting cannot be changed, a workaround is to start the Copilot using the command below 'where 'cftsrv' is the user exected to start Copilot):

bash -c 'LOGNAME=cftsrv; copstart'
