When attempting to log in to the RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle server as the
oracle user either directly or using
su, the login fails with:
su: cannot set user id: Resource temporarily unavailable
The number of processes available to the oracle user has been exceeded. This number of processes available is based on the
nproc soft and hard
ulimits defined in
/etc/security/limits.conf.
To verify that this is the issue, execute the command below as the
root user. This will show you the number of executing threads by user
oracle.
ps -u oracle -L | wc -l
If this is the issue, you will see the output from the above command exceeds the setting defined in
/etc/security/limits.conf:
oracle soft nproc xxxxx
Please refer to RSA Knowledge Base Article
000038069 -- What are the recommended ulimit settings in /etc/security/limits.conf for use with RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle for instructions on setting ulimits to the appropriate values for use with RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle and AFX.
