2011.1r1 SDK Can't Connect to Sentinel 7.1.0.1

Hi
When testing the connections in preference. The following error message
will be generated.

I also try to download the .jar file from Sentinel Server
/opt/novell/sentinel/lib/*.jar to
../current/sdk/build/lib/connections/sentinel. However, the different
error occur.

We're planning an update in the foreseeable future, but at this point
we're early enough in the process I can't give out any specifics just
yet. In the meantime, and barring oracle magically fixing another
underlying security issue in Java that impacts our functionality, we've
discovered the following workarounds for people trying to do reports:
1) First, the main issue that we're seeing has to do with how Java
handles encryption. There's an underlying change that has impacted the
SSH library we use, and is causing it to have a prompt in the middle of
what is supposed to be a fully-automated process. The good news is,
this was partially fixed in ant/Eclipse. So...
2) Manually deploying the plug-in into the latest Eclipse (Kepler 4.3)
seems to cause this problem to be bypassed entirely. Also, you need to
ensure that you are selecting 7.0.x in the drop-down, and selecting
Advanced/Copy Libraries when you create the connection.
3) Do NOT edit a connection to fix a broken one - apparently we have
another minor bug dealing with jars not being cleaned out, and if
you've created a connection with an older set of jars, this seems to
cause a conflict. If you really, really want to edit for convenience
sake, go into %userprofile%\.netiq\pluginsdk\connections and empty the
jars out of that connection's folder before editing it. I do not
promise that fixes it, but we've had lots of reports that simply
creating fresh solves the problem.
4) Another change that was made in 7.1.0.1 that we will be accounting
for....the default 'dbauser' that we have in the UI will be changed to
'rptuser'. 'dbauser' is now more strongly secured, and is no longer a
good choice for this process. 'rptuser' is designed for this purpose.
I'll try to keep people updated with more details as we have them, if
this doesn't solve the problem or you run into additional issues, let me
know, and if we can't solve them here, we'll try to help you out
offline.
Thanks,
Brandon
