BF/RAFW: Init function [bfcrypt_init] failed
Hi,
we are currently using RAFW 7.1.2.0.1 on Redhat Enterprise 5.6. If I start a job in buildforge i get the following error message: 8 3/21/11 7:09 AM AUTH Error -5 loading authentication module : Init function failed. 9 3/21/11 7:09 AM AUTH set user account to bfuser It seems it isn't a real problem for us. I can't find any informations about this error. Before a update from RAFW 7.1.1.4 to 7.1.2.0.1 everything looks fine. How can i fix it? thanks, Benjamin Boortz |

Hi, This looks to me like you have a failure in the authentication lookup for the user - it *might* have something to do with your PAM configuration. I would suggest that you open a PMR and contact support to get this one sorted out. |
Hi, Hi Benjamin, This looks to be a problem with the agent on the target machine. I'm guessing that it can't find the "bfcrypt.dll" file that it needs to load the bfcrypt module. Could you take a look to see that the bfcrypt.dll exists and that its readable by the user that started the bfagent process on that system. The bfcrypt.dll will exist on both windows and unix systems in the location where the bfagent (or bfagent.exe) is located. For instance, in my windows boxes i have bfagent.exe and bfcrypt.dll in the c:\program files\ibm\build forge\agent directory, and on linux I have bfagent and bfcrypt.dll in the /usr/local/bin directory (these are typically the default install paths on both systems). |

Hi, i had a misconfiguration in my bfagent.conf. The bfpwcrypt.conf entry in the parameter password_encrypt_module was wrong. Thank you, Benjamin Boortz |
