Environment

Novell ZENworks Configuration Management 11.2

Situation

If ExtendSchemaForSmartCardConfigureAction fails for any reason, subsequent attempts to run the utility may fail.

VALUE: cn=admin,o=almhult
[2012.04.24-11:09:39] FINEST: Exception trying to extend the schema
LDAPException: Attribute Or Value Exists (20) Attribute Or Value Exists

Resolution

This is fixed in version 11.2.3a - see KB 7011295 "ZENworks Configuration Management 11.2.3a - update information and list of fixes" which can be found at https://support.microfocus.com/kb/doc.php?id=7011295
 
Workaround for prior releases:
 
Using iManager, go to the Schema-->Delete Attribute and delete the zcmSharedSecret attribute.
