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. |
|||
6327352 |
Session replication enabled instances does not come up normally, if other instances in the cluster are not started. |
|||
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. |
|||
6443742 |
The set-session-replication-prop CLI command does not work if 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. |
|||
6468570 |
Specifying "yes" at the wadm prompt crashes the CLI. |
|||
6469676 |
When you try to connect to the Administration Server after the administration certificates have expired, an incorrect error message is displayed. |
|||
6480600 |
The register-node command gives an incorrect error message when the Administration server runs out of disk space. |
|||
6495446 |
If no disk space is available on the device, wadm throws an incorrect error message "Unable to communicate with the administration server". |
|||
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. |
|||
6416328 |
The Start Instances. button in the Admin Console is enabled for instance which is already running. The buttons should be enabled or disabled based on the status of the instance. |
|||
6418312 |

|||
6471367 |
Attempting to access the Admin Console in another tab of the same browser does not work. |
|||
6471792 |
View Log displays result in a single page. Although the search criteria selected for record size is 25 log entries, the log displays the results in one single page even if there are more than 50 log entries. |
|||
6472932 |
Token mismatch error is displayed when you remove the token password and then reset it in the Common tasks -> Select configuration -> Edit configuration -> Certificates -> PKCS11 Tokens page. |
|||
6486037 |
The Virtual Server Management->Content Handling->Document Directories->Add should have a browse option to choose the path of a additional document directory. |
|||
6492906 |
Message displayed about WebDAV collection locks in the Admin Console is misleading. If you specify the time-out value for the WebDAV collection as infinite, the Common Tasks->Select Configuration ->Select Virtual Server->Edit Virtual Sever ->WebDAV->Select collection page displays the message DOES NOT EXPIRE. What it actually means is that the lock does not expire automatically after a specified time or the time-out is infinite. |
|||
6498484 |
Incorrect error message is displayed on setting empty token password using the `Set passwords' button. |
|||
6500157 |
Instance fails to restart if you try to edit a token password and deploy a configuration on an instance which is already running. |
|||
6502287 |
The Admin Console displays an exception when you delete a configuration and click on the Migrate button. |
|||
6502374 |
The Admin Console Review screen in wizards should only show fields that have values. |
|||
6502793 |

|||
6266358 |
Cannot log in through the Administration CLI if the administration password has extended ASCII characters. |
|||
6361329 |
The error-response file name should be validated. |
|||
6367282 |
Administration server starts with expired certificate; wadm should warn about expired certificates. |
|||
6375505 |
The unregister-node command should also clean up certificates on the administration node. |
|||
6408169 |
WebDAV lock CLIs do not work in a cluster environment. |
|||
6408186 |
Multiple installations of the administration nodes on the same node that is registered to the same administration server should be not be allowed. |
|||
6416369 |
Accessing the administration node URL results in Page Not Found error. As the administration node does not have a GUI, accessing the administration node URL results in Page Not Found error. |
|||
6422936 |
No validation for class path prefix and suffix, and native library path in JVM Path Settings in Java. |
|||
6423310 |
The server.xml elements should be grouped based on functionality. |
|||
6441773 |
On Windows, Administration Server moves the Web application files physically before stopping the Web application. |
|||
6462515 |
The Admin Console misleads user with "Instance modified" message when runtime files gets created in the config directory. |
|||
6462579 |

|||
6468330 |
Changes made to the JavaHome property does not get saved after restarting the instance. |
|||
6491749 |
Need better validation in certain text fields to prevent obj.conf file corruption. Most of the functional validation of the data in a form is done in the back end. The GUI has only minimal checks such as empty fields, integer values, and ASCII values. Hence, the GUI stores the data in the obj.conf when parsed gets corrupted . |
|||
6497213 |
Executing the restart-admin command followed by the stop-admin command throws exception in administration error logs. |
|||
6587832 |
On Windows, the Admin Console intermittently fails to come up. Workaround:
|
|||
6746045 |
Once config changes are made it is found that file ownership changes in docs directory When a user creates a directory, adds some files and deploys them under the docs directory, the ownership of all files under this directory, changes to the owner who installed Web Server. Workaround: The user directories should not be created under docs directory. |
|||
6750708 |
Web Server 7.0 Administration CLI does not accept multibye characters as input. Admin CLI does not accept input strings which has multibyte or non-ascii characters. For example, if you are entering an input value containing a non-ascii character (Felhasználók) along with the command, the input value will be garbled as below:
Workaround: While modifying the server.xml file manually, to enter base DN value, you have to type the URL encoded sequence as input instead of multibyte characters. For example, type:: "Felhaszn%C3%A1l%C3%B3k" instead of "Felhasználók" |
|||
6722375 |
The Admin server throws an error as the postpatch script for patches 125437-14 and 125438-14 are not Alternate Root compliant. Workaround:

Any URI that does not end with the "real" file name fails to execute properly, resulting in a “No input file specified” error. For PHP users: Web Server 7.0 Update 4 populates the environment variables REQUEST_URI and SCRIPT_FILENAME for FastCGI and CGI applications. The introduction of the SCRIPT_FILENAME variable causes PHP to display a No input file specified PHP error for scripts that are mapped to virtual URIs, that is, URLs ending with / instead of /index.html or URLs making use of Web Server 7.0's URI rewriting feature. The affected PHP versions are 5.2.5 through 5.2.9. For more information, see http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47042. Workaround: If a PHP application is mapped to a virtual URI, then cgi.fix_pathinfo should be set to 0 in the php.ini file. This setting is required for many popular PHP applications like Drupal, Wordpress, Joomla, etc. However, this setting will cause PHP applications that rely on path-info like /foobar.php/baz/ to return a No input file specified PHP error. If a PHP application relies on path-info, then cgi.fix_pathinfo should not be disabled. |
6296993 |
When there is an error executing an obj.conf directive, the filename and line number where the offending directive was found are not logged. |
6365160 |
When server.xml schema validation fails due to a data type constraint violation, it displays an error message that does not describe the set of valid values for the element. |
6378940 |
All HTTP header parsing error are not logged with the client IP and a description of the error. |
6470552 |
set-variable SAF could not set predefined variable. |
6489220 |
Server treats non-interpolated strings that contain $$ character constants as interpolated. When a parameter value contains a $$ escape, the server constructs a PblockModel for the parameter block. This is unnecessary because $$ is a constant. |

Verisign EV certificate chain issue with new built-in CA root. If you are using Verisign EV 2048-bit SSL web server certificates, some older browsers might give a Certificate Authority Not Trusted warning after you upgrade from an earlier version of Web Server 7.0 to Web Server 7.0 Update 8. Workaround:
Note – If you upgrade Web Server after performing this workaround, you must repeat this workaround after the upgrade. Otherwise, the built-in VeriSign Class 3 Public Primary CA - G5 CA root certificate appears again and some older browsers might give a Certificate Authority Not Trusted warning again. |

6407877 |
Incorrect migration occurs while migrating from Web Server 6.0 to 7.0 if the installed.pkg file is not found. In Web Server 6.0 to 7.0 migration, if the installed.pkg file is missing, Web Server incorrectly migrates the NSServlet entries in the magnus.conf file. |
||||
6490124 |
6.x -> 7.0: Migrated scheduled events still points to 6.x paths in the server.xml file.
|
||||
6502529 |
6.1->7.0: Migration does not handle relative path set for search-collection-dir correctly. During instance migration, specifying a relative path for the target path into which the search collections should be copied, results in the search collection directory being created with respect to the config-store. When the instance is instantiated, the indexes are created without properly migrating the search collections. |
||||
6502769 |
6.x->7.0: Migration ignores any "document-root" NameTrans specified in the obj.conf file. |
||||
6498806 |
On Windows, Web Server Admin Console does not appropriately warn users during migration. Administration Server does not detect if the selected new configuration or the service name already exists on Windows and hence does not appropriately warn the users to select a different configuration name or suggest a different configuration name as default. |
||||
6500509 |
Web Server 7.0 migration tool is unable to successfully migrate from Web Server 6.1 if it has Root Certs installed in it. |

The request processing behavior has changed in Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 2 release. This change does not manifest while using Web Server 7.0 Update 2 RPP. A modification in the Web Server's request processing engine to fix a significant error in Web Server, has changed the order in which the web server processes objects and directives in the server's obj.conf file. This correction now guarantees that the below rules are applied while processing a request:

Limitation supporting basic and digest-based ACLs for resources in the same directory. If the server uses digest and basic-based ACLs in different parts of their doc tree, attempting to use both simultaneously on different files or resources in the same directory is not possible. |
6431287 |
TLS_ECDH_RSA_* require the server cert signed with RSA keys. Cipher suites of the form TLS_ECDH_RSA_* requires server to have an ECC keypair with a cert signed using RSA keys. Note that this precludes using these cipher suites with self-signed certificates. This requirement is inherent to these cipher suites and is not a bug. The server should detect and warn about wrong configurations related to these cipher suites but currently it does not do so. |
The following table lists the known issues in the session replication functionality of Web Server 7.0.

Descriptive error message is not displayed when an error occurs remotely. When an exception occurs remotely, error messages are logged in the error log of the remote instance. However, the local instance currently displays a generic remote exception which does not clearly indicate which error log that the user must view. |
6396820 |
Session replication does not failover correctly when cookies are disabled on the client. |
6406176 |
When enabled, session replication should be the default session manager. After enabling session replication by using the Admin Console or the CLI, or by editing the server.xml file, session replication is not really enabled. Instead, sun-web.xml needs to be manually edited. |
6800993 |
A minor data loss occurs, as async cluster is not available. It is observed that a small amount of http session data loss can occur in few cases. Asynchronous implementation, by using asnyc parameter, in session failover might resolve this issue. |

Web container writes to stderr. |
6349517 |
Incorrect web application session statistics for MaxProcs > 1 mode. Web Server runs in multi-process mode. The MaxProcs configuration variable in the magnus.conf is used to set the maximum number of processes. If the value for MaxProcs is set to greater than 1, the Web Server uses mmap-based session manager so that the session could be shared among different JVMs. While collecting statistics from multiple processes, web application MBeans provide session for individual MBeans. There is no way to find the true number of sessions by seeing individual MBean's web application session statistics.
|
6394715 |
Web container deletes the disabled web application MBeans object. When the web application is disabled by setting the <enabled> element to false in the server.xml file, the web container deletes the web application's MBeans and hence treats it as a closed or deleted web application. Since disabled objects are deleted, statistics are also lost. |
