Directory Server Installation Issues

Two versions of Directory Server exist after installation on Solaris 9 (no bug number)

Directory Server 5.1 is bundled with Solaris 9. Therefore, after you install Directory Server from Java ES 5 Update 1, two versions exist on the system: version 5.1 from Solaris 9, and version 6.2 from Java ES.

When you use Directory Server on such systems, you must make sure you use the command set associated with the version of Directory Server you are trying to administer.

On Solaris 10, cannot contact Directory Server Control Center even though it is running (6590078)

If you are running Solaris 10 08/07 or a Solaris 10 system with Solaris patch 120037–19 (x86) or 120473–10 (sparc) or newer, you might get an error of the following form when you try to connect to Directory Server Control Center:

Could not contact the DSCC agent on hostname. Use the command cacaoadm to
check that DSCC agent is installed and running on port port-number.

This error appears when the cacao process the Directory Server Control Center communicates with is owned by a non-root user, and the error appears even though Directory Server Control Center is running.

Solution Install patch 123896–14 (x86) or 123893–04 (sparc) or newer.
