Policy Manager fails to start the Automatic Update Server process (bwserver) due to an issue with server.cfg permissions - F-Secure Community
<main> <article class="userContent"> <h3 data-version="3" data-article="000018505">Issue:</h3> <p></p><p>By default, Linux distributions set a umask of 022. However, if this is modified e.g. to harden the underlying system, it can cause a problem where the <b>Automatic Update Server </b>process (bwserver) fails to start. This is due to the process <b>bwserver </b>not being able to read its own config-file <b>/etc/opt/f-secure/fsaus/conf/server.cfg</b>.<br><br>This will prevent legacy clients from downloading updates from the Policy Manager Server. Legacy clients include:</p> <ul><li>Email and Server Security version 12.x and older </li><li>Server Security 12.x and older</li><li>Client Security versions older than 13.x.</li></ul><h3>Resolution:</h3> <p></p><p>The workaround is to manually set the permission for server.cfg after installation and restart the fspms daemon.<br><br><b>As root execute the following commands:</b></p> <pre class="code codeBlock" spellcheck="false"><br># chown fspms.fspms /etc/opt/f-secure/fsaus/conf/server.cfg<br># /etc/init.d/fspms restart</pre> <p>Article no: 000018505</p> </article> </main>
