Workarounds & Mitigations

Workarounds and Mitigations provided below are applicable only for versions 19.6.0.3 and 19.7.0.3.

For CDRA - On premise virtual machine:

1. SSH to CDRA VM using cdr user.

2. Create cdra_log4jfix.sh in /tmp/ directory with the following content:

3. Run the following commands:

• dos2unix /tmp/cdra_log4jfix.sh

• chmod +x /tmp/cdra_log4jfix.sh

• sudo /tmp/cdra_log4jfix.sh

For CDRS Deployed on cloud (AWS, AZURE, AWS GOV, or AZURE GOV)

1. Log in to the CDRS VM over SSH. For assistance in accessing CDRS over SSH, contact Dell Support.

2. Create cdrs_log4jfix.sh in /tmp/ directory with the following content:

#! /bin/sh
