Troubleshooting
Problem
In this integration environment, Content Search Services makes use of a third party tool to perform text extraction from content as part of the search indexing process. The third party tool makes use of runtime semaphore object that, on Linux, is implemented as a file located in the /dev/shm file system location with a file access mode providing write permission to the 'other' group category. This particular access mode may violate certain customer IT policy.
Symptom
Once CMOD has begun ingesting document content into CSS, the CSS text extraction component will cause a semaphore-related file to be created in the Linux /dev/shm directory.
Performing the following Linux command line operations:
cd /dev/shm
ls -ltr
will result in a listing that includes the semaphore file whose name has the format:
sem.<random>.opt
and whose file system access rights are:
-rw-rw-rw-
showing that the access rights for 'other' group include write.
