Environment

Novell Identity Manager 3.6.1 - Fanout Driver
AIX

Situation

Only a portion of users are syncing to the AIX Platform.

/usr/local/ASAM/platdebug.log shows:  <platformErrorReason>vkarmakar too long, max length = 8 >




Resolution

The /usr/local/ASAM/bin/PlatformServices/PlatformReceiver/scripts/platformverifyandmapname.sh file has the the following line:

MAXL=8

8 is the default maximum character limitation for usernames.  Change this to a larger number.

NOTE:  The AIX system settings also need to be changed to allow for longer usernames.  Use the following commands to change the setting to 16:

chdev -l sys0 -a max_logname=16
lsattr -El sys0 -a max_logname
