4.4. Hangs

4.4.1. [Critical] Application hang after failing to post a local credential validation event during DomainParticipant enablement

DomainParticipant enablement failure caused by a local credential event error caused an application hang. The logged message included the following errors:

ERROR [[...]|CREATE DP|ENABLE|ENABLE PRES DP|LC:Discovery,Security] PRESParticipant_enable:FAILED TO POST | An event for [...] validation.
ERROR [[...]|CREATE DP|ENABLE|LC:Discovery,Security] DDS_DomainParticipantPresentation_enable:!create enable
ERROR [[...]|CREATE DP|ENABLE|LC:Discovery] DDS_DomainParticipant_enableI:!enable participant
ERROR [[...]|CREATE DP|ENABLE] DDS_DomainParticipantFactory_create_participant:ERROR: Failed to auto-enable entity

Trying to use or delete the DomainParticipant caused the application hang.

4.4.2. [Major] Excessive resource consumption in certain scenarios *

In certain situations, the Security Plugins consumed excessive resources in threads responsible for local security artifacts’ renewal and expiration. The primary symptom was high CPU consumption, which slowed Connext’s runtime execution. Examples of situations triggering this problem included a period of time between creating a DomainParticipant and fully enabling it, or disabling OCSP. The latter could be triggered by setting the <ocsp> tag within the identity_credential_authority_validation tag to IGNORED or by setting the com.rti.serv.secure.authentication.ocsp_ignored property to TRUE.
