A node can be registered to multiple administration servers which may cause a configuration conflict. It is possible to register a node to a second Administration Server without canceling the registration with the first Administration Server. However, this leads to the nodes becoming inaccessible to both the Administration Servers. Workaround: On each registration, restart the administration node. The administration node will be available to the most recent Administration Server it has registered to. |

wadm command allows connecting to a node, shows a certificate and then throws a 'HTTP 400 Error'. When an administration node receives a connection, the administration node does not check the connection is from the Administration Server before proceeding. It not only prints an inappropriate error message, but also prompts the user to enter the password. |
6387762 |
Cannot access shell/system variables from wadm. Workaround: wadm does not inherit the shell environment variables. However, to make the shell variables it available to wadm, use "java::call System getenv env_var_name For example: For accessing the shell environment variable MAIL from within wadm, type the following command at the wadm prompt: wadm> java::call System getenv "MAIL" /var/mail/abc |

User and password dialog presented instead of directory index. By default, Web Server 7.0 does not send a directory index unless the user has been authenticated. Attempting to access a directory prompts the user to enter a user name and password. This occurs because the default Access Control List (ACL) in Web Server 7.0 grants the list access right only to authenticated users. Workaround You can grant the list access right to unauthenticated users using the Admin Console or by editing the default.acl file. For more information on how to grant list access right, see Configuring Access Control in Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 2 Administrator’s Guide. |

6407486 |
While setting the SSL property using the wadm set-ssl-prop command, the server-cert-nickname property accepts any certificate nickname, instead of accepting only the server certificate nickname. |
6443742 |
The set-session-replication-prop CLI command does not work if the 'node' option is provided with a qualified domain name. Workaround Use the output of the list-nodes command for the valid names of the nodes in the set-session-replication-prop command. |
6468570 |

If you specify the time-out value for the WebDAV collection as infinite, the Common Tasks->Select Configuration ->Select Virtual Server->Edit Virtual Sever ->WebDAV->Select collection page displays the message DOES NOT EXPIRE. What it actually means is that the lock does not expire automatically after a specified time or the time-out is infinite. |

6408186 |
Multiple installations of the administration nodes on the same node that is registered to the same administration server should be not be allowed. |

Need better validation in certain text fields to prevent obj.conf file corruption. Most of the functional validation of the data in a form is done in the back end. The GUI has only minimal checks such as empty fields, integer values, and ASCII values. Hence, the GUI stores the data in the obj.conf when parsed gets corrupted . |
6493971 |

Workaround Before calling Java, edit the wdeploy.bat file that is available in install_dir/bin directory. Change the path of the Java directory to install_dir/lib directory. This modification makes Windows look for libnspr4.dll in the install_dir/lib directory before it looks in system32 directory. |

Web Server installer should import the admin self signed certificate into IE certificate tab. When the Admin console is accessed using a browser, a pop-up (in the case of IE6 and Mozilla/Firefox) or a warning page (IE7) may be displayed stating that the certificate is not issued by a trusted certificate authority. This is because, the administration server uses a self-signed certificate. To proceed to the Administration GUI login page, do the following:
The above procedure will accept the certificate temporarily for that browser session. To accept the certificate permanently, follow the steps below:
