Access Manager SDK Configuration Causes Web Server Startup Failure Errors (6293225)

InAccess Manager's SDK configuration, the the AMConfig.properties file contains the wrong information and causes a series a web server startup failures. The following variables do not have the correct information:

Web Server Services Do Not Start After a Successful Configuration in eval config Mode (6472285)

After installing Web Server in eval config mode on Windows operating system, Web Server services are not started automatically.

Windows-Natives: Dlls From Windows System32 Conflict With Java ES Dlls (6496600)

This problem occurs when certain DLLs are in the Windows system32 folder, such as libnspr4.dll, nss3, and smime.

These DLLs conflict with Java ES versions of DLLs that are installed in the install-dir/share/liband prevent proper functioning of Java ES servers.

Workaround:

Rename these DLLs in the system32 folder so Java ES servers will use the correct versions of these DLLs.

Note –

Renaming these DLLs could cause some legacy applications that installed these DLLs in system32 folder not to function.

User Unable to Log into he Web Console After Installing on Windows XP SP2 OS (6498436)
