The following table lists the known issues in the administration of Web Server.
Table 5 Known Issues in Administration
Problem ID |
Description |
---|---|
6364924 |
A node can be registered to multiple administration servers which may cause a configuration conflict. It is possible to register a node to a second Administration Server without canceling the registration with the first Administration Server. However, this leads to the nodes becoming inaccessible to both the Administration Servers. Workaround: On each registration, restart the administration node. The administration node will be available to the most recent Administration Server it has registered to. |
6379125 |
wadm command allows connecting to a node, shows a certificate and then throws a 'HTTP 400 Error'. When an administration node receives a connection, the administration node does not check the connection is from the Administration Server before proceeding. It not only prints an inappropriate error message, but also prompts the user to enter the password. |
4793938 |
User and password dialog presented instead of directory index. By default, Web Server 7.0 does not send a directory index unless the user has been authenticated. Attempting to access a directory prompts the user to enter a user name and password. This occurs because the default Access Control List (ACL) in Web Server 7.0 grants the list access right only to authenticated users. Workaround You can grant the list access right to unauthenticated users using the Admin Console or by editing the default.acl file. For more information on how to grant list access right, see Configuring Access Control in Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Administrator’s Guide. |
6327352 |
Session replication enabled instances does not come up normally, if other instances in the cluster are not started. |
6364702 |
wadm commands do not return valid error codes [0-125] when success or failure. |
6393534 |
After migrating the Java keystore keycerts using the migrate-jks-keycert command, trying to list the migrated jks keycerts using the list-certs command, displays the CN, org and other information instead of the certificate nickname. |
6407486 |
While setting the SSL property using the wadm set-ssl-prop command, the server-cert-nickname property accepts any certificate nickname, instead of accepting only the server certificate nickname. |
6439577 |
Does not prompt for the token password when the instance is started from the wadm command prompt with a wrong token-pin. |
6443742 |
The set-session-replication-prop CLI command does not workif the 'node' option is provided with a qualified domain name. Workaround Use the output of the list-nodes command for the valid names of the nodes in the set-session-replication-prop command. |
6450360 |
The create-authdb command does not validate the URL at the time of the authentication database (authdb) creation. The create-authdb command successfully creates an authentication database with the wrong URL. |
6450800 |
The get-error-log and the get-access-log commands displays cluttered and improper messages. |
6459106 |
The wadm deploy fails to deploy the cluster configuration. If any changes occur to the instance configuration files, manually or otherwise, the deploy-config command displays an error message stating that the instance has been modified. Note – The web applications deployed within the instances' web-app directory should not create, delete, or modify files within the web application's context-root. If modified, the Administration Server considers the instance to be modified. The deploy-config displays an error message. Workaround Either type the deploy-config command with --force option, or, type the pull-config command. |
6462040 |
The create-reverse-proxy CLI command creates an unnecessary new obj.conf file for the default virtual server. |
6464953 |
Setting digestauthstate property through the set-authdb-prop CLI does not validate the value and allows to set junk value for this property. |
6467665 |
Migrating certificate with an invalid file path using the migrate-jks-keycert command, prompts the user to enter the keystore-password and the key-password. |
6468570 |
Specifying "yes" at the wadm prompt crashes the CLI. |
6469104 |
The create-selfsigned-cert command allows you to define an inappropriate validity period while creating a server certificate. |

6490728 |
Cannot set the rewrite-location properties using the set-reverse-proxy-prop command. You cannot set the -rewrite-location property to false. The value specified for the -rewrite-location is not validated. For example, specifying the = symbol for the i-rewrite-location option corrupts the obj.conf file and results in parser error. |
6492315 |
The set-token-prop command sets wrong passwords in the server.xml file even if the token pin has not been specified. |
6492469 |
Incorrect error message is displayed on LDAP user creation failure. |
6494353 |
If an invalid node name is specified while deleting an instance, an incorrect error message is displayed. |
6494950 |

6502631 |

6502800 |
Executing the migrate-server command with both "--all" and "--instance" options does not result in an error. A warning or an error message should be displayed indicating that the user is attempting the set mutually exclusive options. |
6503350 |
Error message given when entering invalid wadm command is misleading. When you type an invalid command, an error message “Invalid command <command name>. Use "help" command for a list of valid commands.” is displayed. The help man page does not contain a list of valid command. Therefore this error message is misleading. |
6503944 |
