Unable to add a new user to the list of Encryption Users or user appears after a delay

Artículos técnicos ID: KB91776

Entorno

McAfee Cloud Workload Security (CWS) 5.3.1, 5.3.0, 5.2.x
McAfee Drive Encryption (DE) 7.2.x

Problema

No users appear in the list after you try to add Encryption users. There are no errors when you add the user.

NOTE: Users are added in the ePO console by going to Menu, Encryption Users, Actions, Drive Encryption, Add User, Select Use, and then clicking OK.

Eventually, the user might get added, but it can take several hours to more than a day.

After you restart the ePO Application Server service, adding users might work successfully, but only for a short period.

When the CWS Threat Events Sync server task is executed, it might take several hours to complete. This event might take longer when client virtual machines (VM) are moved from one VM host to another.

Problema

Collecting a Java Thread Dump when the issue is occurring reveals that the ePO core-EventDispatchService thread is blocked with the AssessmentJob class.

Motivo

The core-EventDispatchService thread is used by DE to add users. But in this case, the CWS Threat Event Sync task is also using the same thread to perform the Event Sync server task.
Sometimes, this task runs for a long time or becomes unresponsive, which prevents DE from using the thread.

Solución

This issue is resolved in CWS 5.3.2 and later.
