The problem of web server startup failures can be attributed to the Access Manager's SDK configuration. In the current scenario, the AMConfig.properties file contains the wrong information and causes a series a web server startup failures. The following variables do not have the correct information:
com.iplanet.am.directory.host
com.iplanet.am.server.host
com.iplanet.am.console.host
com.iplanet.am.profile.host
com.iplanet.am.naming.url
com.iplanet.am.notification.url
Solution On your node B, where Access Manager SDK is installed with Web Server, modify the <Web_Server_Instance_dir>/config/server.xml file and add the required Access Manager JAR files to the classpath.
