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.

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, JRE version compatible with 2007 DST changes is bundled with the installer. 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, 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.

On Windows, server identifier with multibyte characters causes server-side createInstance.exe error.

The administration server fails to start up when a proxy installation that uses a custom JDK configuration is upgraded to a service pack version that requires a newer JDK version. After the upgrade, the JDK configuration must be manually modified to point to either the bundled JDK or a custom JDK of the required version.

Backslashes should be used in LDAP uids only to escape special characters. The ldap sdk used by the Proxy server will remove backslashes from the uid before sending the same to the directory server. This can possibly lead to a situation where the authentication fails where it should succeed (because the uid, with backslashes stripped, finds no match in the directory server), or even succeeds where it should fail (because the uid, with backslashes stripped, finds a match in the directory server).

Upgrade fails on RHEL4 when the specified target directory name contains a trailing slash.
