[EEM] AutoSys Policy evaluated differently on PBIS-OPEN vs PBIS-ENTERPRISE when on *nix

  • 1.  [EEM] AutoSys Policy evaluated differently on PBIS-OPEN vs PBIS-ENTERPRISE when on *nix

    We utilize PBIS (PowerBroker Identity Services) to integrate Active Directory with Linux, allowing for centralized authentication and management.  Our older AutoSys Linux Servers use PBIS "OPEN" for AD integration.  As PBIS-OPEN is archived and not maintained, all new *nix server builds are now configured with our licensed PBIS-ENTERPRISE.

    When on *nix server where PBIS-OPEN, "who" returns username; on *nix server where PBIS-ENTERPRISE, "who" returns MYDOMAIN\username.  This is due to a site-wide configuration that enables quick identification of local vs domain accounts. Have been informed that this is the new standard and cannot/will not be changed.

    When building out a new AutoSys deployment on Linux servers, I configured the EEM servers identically to our existing servers and  loaded the WCC and WorkloadAutomationAE with our standard policies.   The AutoSys EEM policies that work flawlessly on PBIS-OPEN servers are failing on the PBIS-ENTERPRISE.

    For example, when logged in as userabc,

    • on the old (PBIS=OPEN) Linux AutoSys CLI server:

    [pbisopen dasys01] $ autotrack -u 2

    CAUAJM_I_50150 AutoTrack Level=2

    • on the NEW Linux AutoSys CLI server (PBIS=ENTERPRISE):

    [pbisent dasys01] $ autotrack -u 2

    CAUAJM_W_10406 Control Execute Access Denied!

    CAUAJM_W_10439 No policies granting access to resource.

    CAUAJM_W_10440 Class: as-control Resource: LS1.AUTOTRACK User: MYDOMAIN\userabc Access: execute

    CAUAJM_W_10442 Time: 1760715186  Delegator: None

    CAUAJM_I_50150 AutoTrack Level=0

    QUESTION: 

    What configuration, policy, or LDAP mapping changes can we do to enable AutoSys EEM policies to authenticate correctly when authorized user is logged onto a PBIS-ENTERPRISE server?
