    I'm trying to configure informix exit, but in the step of executing ifxguard I get the following error

    [informix@sbrtinflab2 Informix14.10FC10]$ /opt/IBM/Informix14.10FC10/bin/ifxguard -p /opt/IBM/Informix14.10FC10/lib/libguard_informix_exit_64.so -l /opt/IBM/Informix14.10FC10/tmp/ifxguard.msg.txt


    19:43:57 ifxguard (null) failed to start.

    Any ideas?

    SO Redhat 8.1

    Guardium 11.5

    STAP 11.5.9.1

    libguard_informix_exit_64.so.11.5.9.1

        Hello,

    my experience with combination: Guardium 12 + ifxguard from IDS 14.10FC10+ on Linux x86_64 is "core dumped" crash in case when $INFORMIXDIR/etc/ifxguard.$INFORMIXSERVER file is missing. If you have not created this file, create it, for example by executing of command (you should be logged in as informix user):

    cat > $INFORMIXDIR/etc/ifxguard."$INFORMIXSERVER" << _x
    NAME    ${INFORMIXSERVER}_guard
    LOGFILE $INFORMIXDIR/tmp/ifxguard.msg.txt
    WORKERS 4
    LIBPATH $INFORMIXDIR/lib/libguard_informix_exit_64.so
    _x

    Looks like this query is opened for a wrong product.
    Though you are activating exit mechanism for Guardium, but the libraries belong to INFORMIX DB product.
    INFORMIX team will be the best to get an answer.
    If you get one, please share here :-).

    I'm confused  :-) : ifxguard is an executable binary and is installed with the IDS product, so I assume the HCL team is responsible for this tool. The shared library libguard_informix_exit_64.so is installed with the Guardium STAP product - is HCL really fully responsible for this library?
