    Issue:

     

    We have installed a Web Agent on Linux.Despite the Web Agent is starting, it is unable to service
    the requests.

    Troubleshooting steps:

     

    1. After noticing the semaphore related info messages we suggested the
    customer to clean up the semaphore (Ref :
    https://communities.ca.com/message/241987912-re-unable-to-start-webagent?commentID=241987912&et=watches.email.thread#comment-241987912).

     

    2. The handshake error was noted in the policy server logs. In
    response to this, we asked the customer to re-register the trusted
    host which was successful.

    Currently, we see the following error in the webagent log:

     

    1. [9091/4034889472][Mon Apr 30 2018

    16:40:16][CSmPluginManager.cpp:75][ERROR][sm-AgentFramework-00090]
    ADMIN: Missing or invalid plugin configuration setting
    'loadplugin'.

     

    2. [9091/4034889472][Mon Apr 30 2018
    16:40:16][CSmAdminManager.cpp:191][ERROR][sm-AgentFramework-00270]
    ADMIN: Unable to get plugin context from the Plugin Manager.

     

    3. [9091/4034889472][Mon Apr 30 2018

    16:40:16][CSmHighLevelAgent.cpp:122][ERROR][sm-AgentFramework-00400]
    HLA: Failed to initialize 'Administration Manager'.

     

    4. [9090/3950962432][Mon Apr 30 2018
    16:41:14][CSmLowLevelAgent.cpp:5233][INFO][sm-AgentFramework-00510]
    LLA: Logging initialized.

     

    I suspect some plugins or libraries are missing. How can we fix this ?

     

    Resolution:

     

    In WebAgent.conf, include the serverpath and the loadplugin lines to
    solve the issue.

     

    Please see also below differences from the sample out of the box
    configuration and the configuration from your environment:

     

    your webagent.conf

     

    AgentConfigObject="mywebagent"
    HostConfigFile="/opt/CA/webagent/SmHost.conf"
    EnableWebAgent="YES"
    LogFileName="/var/log/apache/webagent.log"
    TraceFile="YES"
    TraceFileName="/var/log/apache/webagenttrace.log"
    TraceConfigFile="/opt/CA/webagent/config/WebAgentTrace.conf"
    TraceAppend:"YES"
    TraceFormat:"default"
    TraceDelimiter:"|"
    TraceFileSize:"100"

     

    out of the box webagent.conf file :

     

    LOCALE=en-US

    #agentname="<AgentName>, <IPAddress>"
    HostConfigFile="/opt/CA/webagent/config/SmHost.conf"
    AgentConfigObject="mywebagent"
    EnableWebAgent="YES"
    ServerPath="/opt/apache/conf"
    #localconfigfile="/opt/apache/conf/LocalConfig.conf"
    LoadPlugin="/opt/CA/webagent/bin/libHttpPlugin.so"
    #LoadPlugin="/opt/CA/webagent/bin/libAffiliate10Plugin.so"
    #LoadPlugin="/opt/CA/webagent/bin/libSAMLAffiliatePlugin.so"
    #LoadPlugin="/opt/CA/webagent/bin/libeTSSOPlugin.so"
    #LoadPlugin="/opt/CA/webagent/bin/libIntroscopePlugin.so"
    #LoadPlugin="/opt/CA/webagent/bin/libSAMLDataPlugin.so"

    #LoadPlugin="/opt/CA/webagent/bin/libOAuthPlugin.so"
    #LoadPlugin="/opt/CA/webagent/bin/libCertSessionLinkerPlugin.so"
    AgentIdFile="/opt/apache2429/conf/AgentId.dat"
