Sun Java System Federation Manager 7.0 Release Notes

Configuration

The following issues are related to configuring Federation Manager.

Exception thrown when transferring configuration data to Sun Java System Directory Server on Solaris 8 (6324142)

Service configuration data cannot be migrated from flat file to Directory Server when Directory Server is running on Solaris 8.

WORKAROUND: On Solaris 8, before running the fmff2ds migration script, install patch 110165-05.

Unable to use default ldapmodify in Solaris 8 against Microsoft Active Directory (6328437)

The default version of ldapmodify included with Solaris 8 (Sparc) will not run against Active Directory on a Windows 2000 Advanced Server.

WORKAROUND: Before running the fmff2ds script against Active Directory, upgrade your ldapmodify by downloading the Directory Server Resource Kit from http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=3f74a0db.

amadmin throws exception when Federation Manager is deployed on BEA WebLogic Server (6320391)

After amadmin loads meta data, it uses Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) to send notifications to the server. With WebLogic Server, use jaxrpc 1.0.

WORKAROUND: Change the Makefile to bundle the jaxrpc 1.0 jars. Take the following steps after installing with fmsetup:

  1. Remove the default jaxrpc using the following command:

    # rm war staging dir/web-src/WEB-INF/lib/jaxrpc*

  2. Copy the jaxrpc 1.0 to the war staging directory using the following command:

    # cp /FederationManager-base/SUNWam/fm/jaxrpc_1.0/* war staging dir/web-src/WEB-INF/lib

  3. Change to the bin directory using the following command:

    # cd /FederationManager-base/SUNWam/fm/bin

  4. Run fmwar to generate a new web archive (WAR):

    # fmwar -n web-application-name -d war staging dir -s silent-install-file

  5. Redeploy the new WAR.
