Problem or Goal
For Host checker configurations that have “Cache Cleaner” enabled, it is observed that Host Checker fails with Error "Host checker didn't get installed properly. Your computer doesn't meet requirements" upon upgrade to Pulse Desktop Client 9.1R8.

 - 'TnccHandleException' An IMC threw an exception! Core dump created. Terminating.

 
Cause
The issue occurs due to a bug in the code.
Solution
The issue is fixed in PCS and PDC code 9.1R8.2 which is tentatively scheduled to be released by 18th September.

Note : Both PCS and PDC need to be upgraded to 9.1R8.2 for the fix.

To workaround the issue, please disable “Cache Cleaner” at Realm & Role Level on PCS/PPS by following the steps below: 

Realm Level : 

  • Navigate to Users > User Realms
  • Click on the desired Realm name.
  • Select  Authentication Policy > Host Checker
  • Uncheck "Evaluate Policies" & "Require and Enforce" against Cache Cleaner Policy
  • Click on "Save Changes". 
  • Repeat the above steps for all other User Realms.

  • Ensure that "Cache Cleaner Policy" is not listed under the "Selected Policies" as shown below.
  • Repeat the above steps for all other User Roles.
