8.2 Authentication Error Messages

You might encounter the following error messages when authenticating to iManager. Each error message section discusses possible causes.

8.2.1 HTTP 404 Errors

If you receive a 404 error the first time you attempt to access iManager, you need to verify the ports that Apache is running on. Depending on how you installed iManager and whether you chose to use Apache or IIS, the configuration file locations will vary. Apache uses either the httpd.conf file or the ssl.conf file. Refer to Microsoft’s documentation for information on IIS port settings.

8.2.2 HTTP 500 Errors

If you receive an internal server error or servlet container error (either unavailable or being upgraded), iManager is having one of two problems with Tomcat:

  • Tomcat has not fully initialized after a reboot.
  • Tomcat has failed to start.

Wait a few minutes and try again to access iManager. If you still receive the same errors, you need to verify the status of Tomcat and, if the error persists, the status of Apache.

Checking the Status of Tomcat

  1. Restart Tomcat.

  2. Check the Tomcat logs for any errors.

    The log file is located in the $tomcat_home$/logs directory on the UNIX, Linux, and Windows platforms. On UNIX and Linux, the logs are named catalina.out or localhost_log.date.txt; on Windows, the log files are named stderr and stdout.

    On NetWare®, errors appear on the logger screen.

Checking the Status of Apache

  1. Restart Apache.

  2. Check the Apache log files for errors.

    The files are located in the $apache_home$/logs directory.

8.2.3 634 Error Messages

The target server does not have a copy of what the source server is requesting, or the source server has no objects that match the request and has no referrals on which to search for the object.

Some possible causes:

  • You entered an incorrect Tree or IP Address. If you are using the IP address, make sure you include the port if eDirectory™ is installed on a nonstandard (524) port.
  • iManager cannot locate your Tree or IP Address before timing out.

    If the tree name fails, use the IP address.

8.2.4 632 Error Messages

This error is a system failure having any of several possible causes.

8.2.5 601 Error Messages

The object name entered could not be found in the context specified.

Some possible causes:

  • Contextless login might be disabled.
  • Your User object might not be in the configured search containers list. Either ask your administrator to add your user location to the contextless login search containers or log in with a full context.

8.2.6 669 Error Messages

An invalid password was used, authentication failed, one server tried to synchronize with another one but the target server’s database was locked, or a problem exists with the remote ID or public key.

Some possible causes:

  • You typed an incorrect password
  • There are multiple users with the same username in the tree. Contextless login tries to log in using the first user account it finds with the supplied password. In this case, provide a full context when you log in or limit the search containers that contextless login searches.
