Installing This Hotfix

To install the Hotfix using UNIX Agent Manager:

1. In the UNIX Agent Manager console, click Agent Manager.
2. Click Hosts > Scan All Hosts to verify all agents are active and registered.
3. Click Hosts > Patch Mgr.
4. Click 7.1 Agents
5. Click Load.
6. Select the p71p11.zip file and click Open.
7. Select the computers where you want to install this Hotfix.
8. Select 7.1.0.11 as the patch to install.
9. Click Next.
10. Click Begin Install.
11. Verify successful installation in the results window.

To install the Hotfix manually:

1. Extract the file p71p11.zip.
2. Copy the p71p11.tar file for your operating system and the /unix/data/updates/P71P11/wcPatch file to the PSHOME/netiq/bin directory on the computer where you want to apply the Hotfix. You can find the value for PSHOME in the /etc/vsaunix.cfg file on the target computer.
3. Login to the computer where you want to apply the Hotfix.
4. Run the su command to switch to the root user account.
5. Change to the PSHOME/netiq/bin directory.

The agent's Oracle password cache would sometimes not be updated properly when changes were made in the Operator Console's Security Manager interface.
