Table 7 Known Issues in Administration

ID  

Summary 

6212701 

Conflicting error message is displayed when server instance fails to start. 

The chances of occurrence of this conflicting error message is minimal as the chances of the administration interface writing wrong information in the configuration file is minimal. It can only occur if the user manually writes wrong information into the configuration file.  

6224535 

The timeout and retries parameters for the HTTP client cannot be configured through the administration interface.


Note –

The timeout parameter for init-proxy does not function as expected. Use the http-client-config SAF instead.


Workaround

The default value for the timeout parameter is five minutes and can be overridden by including the parameter, timeout= number of seconds in the http-client-config SAF of the obj.conf file.

The default value for the retries parameter is three. The number of request retries can be configured by including the parameter retries=number of retries in the http-client-config SAF of the obj.conf file.

The effective timeout is timeout x (retries+1).

6231297 

The Restart Required link disappears if changes are made to the SOCKS configuration and the Proxy Server is restarted instead of the SOCKS Server.

Daylight Savings Time (DST) will start in USA from the 2nd Sunday of March and end on the 1st Sunday of November. This will impact the date and time rules of the operating system and JRE.  

 

In the standalone version of proxy server 4.0.4, JRE version compatible with 2007 DST changes is bundled with the installer (See ID no. 6519072 in Issues resolved in 4.0.4). However, you need to address the impact on the date and time rules of the operating system by installing the appropriate operating system patches as explained in step 1 of the Workaround.

 

For the JavaES 5 installation of proxy server 4.0.4, you need to install the operating system patches and also the compatible version of JRE . Follow steps 1 and 2 of the Workaround. 

Workaround

  1. Download and use the appropriate operating system patches. You can download the Solaris patches from http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-26-102775-1.

    For other platforms, download similar DST compatible patches from the operating system vendor's web site.

  2. For Solaris, Windows, and Linux, run proxy server with JRE 1.4.2_13. For HP-UX, run proxy server with JRE 1.4.2.12.
