Troubleshoot PAM authentication fail issue

Troubleshooting


Problem

PAM authentication failed when SD failed

Symptom

You can do EGO related authentication successfully (For example: egosh user logon) but SOAM related authentication failed (For example: soamview) with following error message:

Cannot retrieve application information : Security error: Authentication failed.
Incorrect user name or password, or the security plugin setting
(specified in the EGO_SEC_PLUGIN parameter in the ego.conf file on both
the client and server) are incompatible.

This issue only happens when SD is running on a master candidate host.
