Resolution

These errors:
 
CASA_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL               -939589631
C7FF0001     // Call completed unsuccessfully
 
tend to indicate a problem with the agent miCasa install or setup.  Check that the Novell Identity Store Service is available and started.  In some cases, using repair on the CASA or Novell Casa Authentication Client  installs can fix the problem (Add/Remove programs or use msiexec to repair).   Otherwise see KB 7001250 for more information on how to install just the agent casa and auth token MSIs:  https://support.microfocus.com/kb/doc.php?id=7001250
