Environment

Novell NetWare 6.5 Support Pack 8
Novell BorderManager 3.9 Support Pack 2
Novell BorderManager 3.9 Internal Release 1

Situation

When going into iManager, BorderManager, proxy services, it is not possible to have changes in any of the configuration settings activated after pressing the Apply Changes button. "Fail to apply changes" is displayed in the pop-up window.
Logger screen will show this error:
AttrName = BRDSRVS: Event Logging                                               
ComponentCount = 1
java.util.NoSuchElementException: Vector Enumeration

Configuration(NBMProxyConfigurationDSSync.java:85)


Resolution

The issue is coming because when the brdsrvs: Event logging has to be created, it is created with the wrong values, so next time iManager reads it, it throw the error message and no changes are written to eDir.
Open console One, select the bm server object, properties, other tab and search for the BRDSRV:Event Logging attribute. Expand it and you'll see only one value of zero. Highlight the attribute and click on add. Then enter the value
65536

Repeat this step and enter the value

197632

Repeat it again and now with the value

131072

After that, underneath the attribute name you'll have 4 value, the new 3 and the previous 0. Delete the 0 value, click apply and exit Console One.
Now "Apply changes" will work.
