bash: /root/.bashrc: Permission denied error

Troubleshooting

If exceptions are displayed in your HTML pages directly after entering the Configuration Manager from the Sun^TM Web Console, try the following:

• Clear the cache directory (/usr/share/webconsole/work/Standalone/localhost/apoc/jsp/) where tomcat stores its compiled JSPs.

• Verify that the file policymgr.cfg exists (/usr/share/webconsole/apoc/WEB-INF/).

• Verify that the file policymgr.cfg has correct user rights (read access for noaccess:noaccess).

• Verify that the LDAP data stored in the file policymgr.cfg corresponds to your LDAP server, such as host, port, baseDN, and so on.

Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2 Hotfix 1

This patch should be applied to avail of the fix for bug 4903368. Without this fix, if a user chooses to remove five or more policy groups assigned to an entity, then the Configuration Manager will remove all the assigned policy groups from that entity. More importantly, if a user chooses to remove five or more policy groups assigned to the root entity, then not only will all assigned policy groups be removed from that entity, but the Configuration Manager LDAP metaconfiguration data will also be deleted from the Directory Server. The Directory Server cannot then be used by the Configuration Manager until the createServiceTree installation script is run again.

Issues with the Java^TM Desktop System Release 2 for the Solaris^TM Operating System

Users who want to use the Configuration Manager to manage the Java^TM Desktop System Release 2 for the Solaris operating platform will need to use the Configuration Manager Release 1 that was delivered with the Java^TM Desktop System Release 2 for Linux. In so doing, users should note that the following managed configuration options of the Configuration Manager are currently not applicable:

• Policies – Gnome 2.2 – Advanced – Panels

• Policies – Gnome 2.2 – Lockdown (except for Terminal Settings)
