Tech Tip - CA Privileged Access Manager: Remote CLI fails to find the keystore file on Windows

Issue

After installing the PAM 3.1.1 remote CLI on a Windows host and preparing the keystore file following instructions at https://docops.ca.com/ca-privileged-access-manager/3-2/EN/programming/credential-manager-remote-cli-and-java-api/install-and-set-up-the-remote-cli-and-java-api, running the capam_command.bat script results in error "Couldn't find the keystore file capam.keystore". The keystore file does exist in the folder from where the command is run.

 

Resolution

This problem will be observed if the remote CLI is copied to a folder that has a space character in its path, such as "C:\CA PAM\Remote CLI". The bat script does not quote file paths. Renaming the parent folders or moving the files to a different folder that has no space characters in its path resolves the problem.
