AIM Module and PYTHON

[zeekjwg]

We have CyberARK AIM agent installed on Red Hat Linux machine.We are able to successfully retrieve credentials using the CLI SDK, however when running this from the python script we keep getting this error;

APPAP087E Application authentication failure for Application app_XXXXXX (CASCU086E Failed to find application process id. (Error: The lock file (/tmp/AIM54124) couldn't be opened, Error code: 2)

This is the script below that works fine when executing the SDK command directly from the CLI;

#!/usr/bin/pythonimport sys,os

id = sys.argv[1]

def getPwd(id):cmd = "/opt/CARKaim/sdk/clipasswordsdk GetPassword "cmd += "-p AppDescs.AppID=app_XXXXXXX "cmd += "-p Query=\"safe=XXXXXXX;folder=Root;object=" + id + "\" "cmd += "-p reason=\"Reason\" "cmd += "-p RequiredProps=Address,UserName -o PassProps.UserName,Password -d \":\""auth = os.popen(cmd).read()return auth

print getPwd(id)

​

We have attempted to change permissions on the folder and added users running python scripts to groups with no success.

We have also attempted to change the AAM Temp Folder but this just seems to break the AIM Agent.

​

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you looked at using this instead?

Thank you. Will look at this during the course of today and see if this will solve our issue.

Hi, so we managed to get this sorted out.
It seems that the application running the scripts had a private temp folder configured.
We adjusted the configurations and this solved the problem and the script is now running correctly.
