RSA Version/Condition: 7.2.1, 7.5.0, 7.5.2
Issue
Some received emails displayed in the Log tab under Admin > Email menu show "General Failure Processing Reply" in the "Processing Result" column.
In addition, one or more of the following log messages are logged in the aveksaServer.log file:
08/19/2021 21:19:27.911 ERROR (ApprovalInboxProcessorServiceProvider) [com.aveksa.server.email.mailboxmonitor.ApprovalInboxProcessorServiceProvider] FAILED method=emailArrived subTask=handleUnexpectedException ElmID=7372, User=1234, auth=com.aveksa.server.authorization.XXAuthorization@64e54b11, workItem=Id=9999:WPDS:1 JobId=9999 Name=Second Level Approval Reference=888 State=3 Category=Change Request Approval AssignedTo=999 java.lang.NullPointerException

- RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle 7.2.1
- RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle 7.5.0
- SecurID Governance & Lifecycle 7.5.2
Resolution
This issue is resolved in the following versions which locks the record when processing incoming approval emails on multiple nodes in a cluster:
- RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle 7.2.1 P08
- RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle 7.5.0 P05
- SecurID Governance & Lifecycle 7.5.2 P01
Notes
Note that the "Processing Result Status " of "General Failure Processing Reply" may occur for multiple reasons some of which are expected in normal operations. If you have this email status without the specific error messages mentioned you do not have this issue.
Note that this message does not always indicate a failure. Email messages may be processed correctly on the other node of the cluster even if these error messages are generated.
