Protocol authentication issues

You can use a set of GPFS commands to identify and rectify issues that are related to authentication configurations.

To do basic authentication problem determination, perform the following steps:
  1. Issue the mmces state show auth command to view the current state of authentication.
  2. Issue the mmces events active auth command to see whether events are currently contributing to make the state of the authentication component unhealthy.
  3. Issue the mmuserauth service list command to view the details of the current authentication configuration.
  4. Issue the mmuserauth service check -N cesNodes --server-reachability command to verify the state of the authentication configuration across the cluster.
  5. Issue the mmuserauth service check -N cesNodes --rectify command to rectify the authentication configuration.
    Note: Server reachability cannot be rectified by using the --rectify parameter.
