The following example shows the correct form of the Change Manager URL:

Netscape Communicator Reports That Certificate Has an Invalid Signature

Description:

Netscape Communicator Version 4 produces this message:


The server's certificate has an invalid signature. You will
not be able to connect to this site securely.
Solution:

Restart the Netscape Communicator, then access the page again.

Cannot Browse Directories in the File Chooser Wizards That Are Not Publicly Readable (4735785)

Description:

The browser interface cannot display the contents of directories that are not publicly readable. This problem prevents the file browser from accessing private directories even though the user has appropriate permissions.

Solution:

Directly specify files in such a directory by supplying a full path name to the file.

JavaScript and Request-Handling Errors Occur When You Access the Web Application After You Upgrade Your Server From Change Manager 1.0 to Change Manager 1.0.1

Description:

The Sun Management Center Web Console server continues to use the cached Change Manager 1.0 JSP classes instead of recompiling them from the new Change Manager 1.0.1 JSP sources.

Cause:

This happens because the JSP classes have a later timestamp than the JSP source files.

Solution:

Stop the Sun Management Center Web Console server, remove the cached Change Manager 1.0 JSP classes, then restart the web console server.

The procedure differs, depending on the version of Solaris you are running on the Change Manager server.

  • If you are running Solaris 9 12/02, or an earlier release of Solaris, run these commands:


    # /usr/sadm/sbin/smcwebserver stop
    # rm -rf /var/sadm/webconsole/work/localhost/changemgr
    # /usr/sadm/bin/smcwebserver start
    
  • If you are running at least Solaris 9 4/03, run these commands:


    # /usr/sadm/bin/smcwebserver stop
    # rm -rf /var/sadm/webconsole/work/Standalone/localhost/changemgr
    # /usr/sadm/bin/smcwebserver start
