Opened: Feb 09, 2016

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

When the localdb instance name contains "." character, Apmd wont be able to store the memcache entry. The store operation will fail. You will see a log "notice apmd[15593]: 01490000:5: mc_set_mkey() failed with error [11]."

Impact

The run time user information ( like login failure count ) is stored in memcache, if we are not able to store the entry in memcache, we will fail to authenticate the user.

Conditions

This can occur when doing a localdb password change and the localdb instance name has a period in it.

Workaround

Ensure your Localdb instance names do not contain a "." character.

Fix Information

None
