-1497 0xFA27   CCS E AUTHENTICATION FAILURE

Source:  CCS

Explanation:  The CCS library could not authenticate one or more CCS modules.

Action:  Follow instructions in Technical Information Document 10054434 located in the Novell support knowledgebase on the Web at http://support.novell.com/search/kb_index.htm.

Possible Cause:  This error can be caused by a lack of NICI licensing materials (.nfk file copied to nicifk file). NICI on servers (NetWare, DHost, or equivalent environment on other platforms) must have a NICI foundation key file in order to initialize key materials. NICI license materials are part of an eDirectory license.

Earlier NetWare installs had the option of installing directory without licenses that basically disabled NICI. With the new directory services introduced with eDirectory for the first time, eDirectory is using NICI for a variety of cryptographic functionality. So, a simple upgrade from an earlier version of eDirectory to a newer version would render eDirectory unusable due to NICI. This is not a bug, per se, but an installation deficiency. NICI will not operate without a NICI licensing materials, or a proper configuration file.

Action:  Install a license (can be the installation of the same license), or copy the .nfk file from the license diskette to nicifk file, and then reboot the server or restart the DHost process.

Possible Cause:  The error can also be caused by the lack of or corrupted NICI configuration files, especially on NetWare servers. A corrupted NICI configuration file is not fixable; it is thrown away. An effort was made to minimize this problem starting with NICI version 1.3.x. It is less likely for this to occur especially with NICI 2.x or later.

Action:  Contact a Novell support provider.

Possible Cause:  Cryptography module downgrade.
