Communications Express 2005Q4 - Calendar problem

I have communications express 2005Q4, messaging server, calendar server, delegated administrator, directory server, access manager & web server fully working. But when
i log in to the comms express and click the calendar tab it gives me the following error:
Application Error
java.lang.NullPointerException
Im using schema2 & identity sso. I have checked and double checked all the configure files, and there seems to be nothing wrong.
Any clues on what to do with this?

Not any of my users have a working calendar in UWC,
thats the problem. Not even those users who were
defined during install. What i meant was that the
calendar works when i connect directly to the
calendars port(http://my-server.com:calendar-port/),
but when i log in to UWC(http://my-server.com/uwc/),
and click the calendars tab, it doesnt work. Clear
enough? :DHum, I might look asking basic questions but I don't have much info to work with :) and I wasn't able to reproduce your problem unless I specificly create ALL users without calendar on the command line.
1) You tried creating users with the "-S cal,mail" arguments on the command line ?
2) If you do a csuser -v list "userid" do you have 1 or 2 attributes listed or more like 19-20. (on a user that doesn't work.)
3) in you logs, do you have any error messages ? Default dir is /var/opt/SUNWics5/logs. and the log file name was stated in the ics.conf file.
Normal log message should look like:
2006-01-18 10:39:12.930 Info 1174:314a78 Polling: Finished sso cache cleaner. Hash table size=0.
4) Did you checked if your http.* log files correctly access the Calendar database? ex:
[18/Jan/2006:07:27:12 -0500] servername cshttpd[1174]: General Notice: cshttpd successfully opened the Calendar Database
[18/Jan/2006:07:27:12 -0500] servername cshttpd[1173]: General Notice: cshttpd successfully opened the Calendar Database
[18/Jan/2006:07:27:13 -0500] servername cshttpd[1172]: General Notice: cshttpd is ready
[18/Jan/2006:10:27:13 -0500] servername cshttpd[1172]: Account Notice: close 192.168.x.x USERNAME 2006/1/18 9:56:55 0:30:18 0 0 1
[18/Jan/2006:10:33:25 -0500] servername cshttpd[1174]: Account Notice: WCAP logout called.
[18/Jan/2006:10:33:25 -0500] servername cshttpd[1174]: Account Notice: close 192.168.x.x admin 2006/1/18 10:33:15 0:00:10 0 0 1
5) In ics.conf you have those lines ?:
service.http.allowadminproxy = "yes"
local.calendar.sso.amnamingurl = "http://servername:80/amserver/namingservice"
local.calendar.sso.singlesignoff = "yes"
local.calendar.sso.amcookiename = "iPlanetDirectoryPro"
local.calendar.sso.logname = "log file name
service.calendarsearch.ldap = "no"
service.http.ipsecurity = "no"
6) You have latest Public patches available on sunsolve (there is one for uwc) ?

  • Communications Express without Calendar???

    Hi all, is it possible to install Communications Express without Calendar Server running? I get the impression from Sun's docs that in order to install Comms Express you first need Messaging Server and Calendar Server running. The reason I ask is that our current iMS5.2 environment is to be upgraded to JES Messaging Server 6.3 but, for the time being, we are not in need of a Calendaring system. This may change in the future.
    I am particularly interested in knowing whether it is possible to install Comms Express providing just messaging services and later, let's say in 6mths, add Calendaring services.
    Thanks in advance,
    Stewart

    I get the impression from Sun's docs that in order to install Comms Express you first need Messaging Server and Calendar Server running.You need calendar server running if during the configuration of UWC you enable the calendar component:
    http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-4440/6n6jfgche?a=view
    So in your case, just de-select the calendar component.
    The reason I ask is that our current iMS5.2 environment is to be upgraded to JES Messaging Server 6.3 but, for the time being, we are not in need of a Calendaring system. This may change in the future. Sounds fair to me. Why introduce the added complexity of calendar if you don't need it post-upgrade. Please note however that the outlook connector requires calendar to be installed/configured in UWC.
    I am particularly interested in knowing whether it is possible to install Comms Express providing just messaging services and later, let's say in 6mths, add Calendaring services.Yes you can do this by setting the calendar related settings in:

  • JES Communications Express & MAC OSX Safari browser

    When my user opens Communications Express (2005Q4) in Safari on MAC OSX (10.5), and clicks compose, the compose window pops up but if he hits the "Return" key while in the TO, BCC, or Subject field, the Compose window disappears and all work is lost. Has anyone else seen this behavior or know how to make Safari act like other browsers that don't do this?

  • Calendar Express in Communications Express Problem

    It seems intermittently, maybe after using commadmin to perform some task (e.g., add user to a e-mail dist. group), a user cannot access his calendar within communications express. I don't have the exact error - but it's something like calendar is not available.
    Removing the <@domain.com> from the following 3 attributes,
    Default Calendar: [email protected]$User One
    Owned Calendar: [email protected]$User One
    Subscribed Calendar: [email protected]$User One
    seems to remedy this.
    so they become:
    Default Calendar: user1$User One
    Owned Calendar: user1$User One
    Subscribed Calendar: user1$User One
    But recently, I wasn't able to fix this by editing these attributes in the DA, I got a 'could not save error.' and nothing in the ldap logs. I was however able to remove these as cn=Directory Manager in the LDAP console?
    they had become multiples, e.g. for Default Calendar: there would be two values (one correct, and another incorrect):
    Default Calendar:
    user1$User One
    [email protected]$User One
    Any idea what this is about? I believe I have read it has something to do with the legacy vs. hosted specification when creating a user, these users are all created as legacy.
    Thanks,
    S7

    The question really is, why do I have to keep correcting these 3 attributes. What's causing the @domain.com to be appended to them, or added as an entirely new value? e.g. an attributre seems to be able to have multiple values, as mentioned above.

  • Communications Express calendar problem with imported events

    I'm evaluating Communications Express from the JES 2005Q1. I imported about a years worth of events (about 30/month) which had been exported from iCS 5.1. When I view the Calendar through Calendar Express everything works fine. However, when I view the calendar through Communications Express the events fail to display in the month view. The same events display fine in the Day and Week views.
    At the bottom of the failed Month view is displayed:
    <

    Notes for application developers:

            at com.iplanet.ias.web.WebContainer.service(WebContainer.java:580)I noticed that if I created just as many new events, they would display properly in the Months view so I made a minor modification to each imported event in a given month. After each event had been modified and saved in the new calendar server the Month view now works fine.
    So, it would appear that there is some data present or missing from the older exported .ics file that is incompatible with the new version 6.0 of the calendar server. If I look at one of the events modified as descibed above I see only one difference (in addition to the time stamps) and that is the presence of the tag:
    CATEGORIES:Other

    We are upgrading to Communications Express from Sun One Calendar Express.
    Exporting data from Sun One Calendar Express to Sun Jave Systems Calendar Express works fine; all day events show up, etc
    So, the export feature works OK from Calendar->Calendar.
    But, when we import the same calendar data into the Communications Express calendar the month view fails. It's only after changing/deleting the all day events does the imported data show in Communications Express in monthly view (the other views are OK).
    Isn't the Communications Express calendar really the Sun Java Systems calendar with a different "look"
    What gives?

    A similar problem was discussed over in the Calendar Server forum: http://forum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=101320 Check out the answers there (and the Calendar Server forum is probably a better place to ask this anyway since it looks pretty specific...)

  • Problem in Session Communication Express

    Dear All,
    We are using Communication Express for Two uses in our application..
    1.The one is for View Mail...There my app Users will See ..all the tabs Mail,Calendar,Address Book & Options..I enabled this by..referring URL http://....../uwc
    2.Another one is for them to view their calendar activities ..for that we are enabling calendar tab of Comm Express and I can get the calendar... by referring URL http://....../uwc?calid=admin:course14 like that.,
    The Problem Im facing is ,If the User First checks his Mail..and then calendar means my User calendar displays all the Comm tabs..(I need to get Only the Calendar tab here)
    Or else.., If the User checks the Calendar first and then Mail ..means ..the Mail box (here Comm Expp) only displays the calendar tab..(I need to get all the tabs here)
    We enabled SSO ... the problem clearly points Session.,, Is Any Suggestions..
    Thanks In Advance

  • Enable Hosted Domain for Calendar Server and Communication Express

    Hi there,
    I did not enable the hosted domain mode during the installation and configuration of Calendar Server and Communication Express. Can I enable this mode after this for both of these components?? If yes, what should I do??
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Hi Russ,
    We have the same problem as Matt.
    We have properly set up OCS Email it works well both inside and outside our network.
    The only thing that appears not to be working is the email notification capabilities of OCS Calendar.
    We have changed sendmail.cf as stated in the documentantion.
    we are using -
    RedHat Advanced Server 2.1,
    sendmail 8.11.6
    bind 9.1.3
    I would be very gratefull of any information on this, as we're out of ideas...

  • Functionality Differences between Calendar Express & Communications Express

    Now that the BIG problems related to our migration from Calendar v5.1.1 to v6.3 have died down, we're getting reports of significant (to our users, at least) differences in the functionality between our old environment (Calendar Express v5.1.1) and the new environment (Communications Express v6.3) (partial list at the end of this posting).
    All of the below issues, I have checked in Calendar Express v6.3, and they appear to function as our users expect, like they did in 5.1.1. The problem is that we went live with CommExpress, and have not branded Calendar Express for general consumption. We would like to be able to make the CommExpr calendar functions work like they do in Calendar Express, assuming it wouldn't be a HUGE undertaking of modification to the underlying code. I've asked Sun Support for some answers regarding this, but thought I'd post something here while I wait for an answer.
    Issues:
    - When scheduling an appointment on someone else's calendar (subscribed), the owner of the calendar is NOT added as an invitee, but the logged-in user is. This causes major problems when trying to check availability, because the owner of the calendar is not included in this check, but the person doing the scheduling is, even though they're not going to the meeting.
    - When you click on "check availability" from the main CommExpress calendar screen, it defaults to the logged-in user, and not the user for the currently selected "Current Calendar." Again, user reports that this functionality is different than previously.
    - Also, previously when two events were scheduled for a user at the same time, the calendar would show "conflict" in red letters in both events. We are no longer getting this warning.
    Again, all three of these issues behave in the current version of Calendar Express like they did in v5.1.1. CommExpress just doesn't work right in this respect. We'd like to continue to use CommExpress, since all indications are that Calendar Express is going away at some point, but we need the calendar functionality that CommExpress is not providing.
    Thanks,
    Kurt

    If you could please provide the diffs of the changes you made that would be useful for any other forum reader thinking of making a similar modification.
    These changes may be more than absolutely required for the change, but they seem to be working as expected.

  • Java System Communications Express attachment problem

    Hello everyone, please excuse my ignorance on this query as I have very little to do with the Java language and I've really approached this forum as I've run out of ideas for the problem my customer has.
    The customer is connecting to a 'Sun Java System Communications Express' server, from approximately 20 PC's. 2 of the PC's have a problem that is not user based because if they sign in elsewhere their problem disappears and likewise if someone signs into their PC, they experience the same problem.
    If the user receives an email with an attachment and forwards it to a recipient, no problem.
    If the user recieves an emal with an attachment and forwards it to themselves, no problem.
    If however, the user tries to send an email with an attachment (which for all intents and purposes seems to take the correct amount of time to upload, and when you click save appears in the message attached) the attachment disappears, including if you simply save the message in drafts and do not actually send it.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling versions 5 and 6 of Java, resetting the web settings using both IE6 and IE7 (unfortunately the initial secure server refuses any other connections from Firefox / Netscape / Opera / Safari therefore I can only test with IE)
    I have disabled all additional addons, disabled all non-microsoft startup services, disabled all startup programs.
    As you will appreciate, I've done a fair and reasonable amount of testing and simply cannot work out why the attachment fails to stay with the email on these two machines. Help on this problem would be very much greatly appreciated.
    Many Thanks
    Tony

    Unfortunately I do not have access to version information of the server as I am only have access to the client end. All that I can provide you with is the fact that it works on 18 identical systems. The missing attachment(s) occur regardless of whether you save the message to draft or send the message. It should be noted however that if you receive an attachment with a message and save that to drafts, the message retains the attachment so it only seems as though it is affected during the phase of attaching the file to the message from the local PC. The environment that the client is working in uses a verified certificate and is connected through https.

  • Default Calendar Group for Communications Express?

    When using the soon to be eliminated Calendar Express (cshttpd) interface, it is possible to select a default calendar group. This causes the application to always display a calendar group after logging in rather than the user's individual calendar.
    Does anyone know if it is possible to set such a preference in the Communications Express (uwc) interface?

    UWC does not provide you this feature.You could raise an enhancement request -RFE .
    Thanks,
    Ramya

    Hi Sun,
    Is the colour for calendar event in sun communication express customizable.

    Let say event A is blue, Event B is redNo.
    There is an RFE logged for this feature (RFE#6357817 - "Would like to have events color coded based to type") but as new features aren't being added to UWC/CE it will never be implemented.
    There is also an RFE for Convergence (RFE#6633158 - "iwc should support different visual indication based on type of event").
    If this functionality is important to your organisation then you will need to push this RFE via your Sun Account Manager who can then raise it with the Convergence product manager.

    Does anybody know how to setup step-by-step SSL and SSO on SUN's
    Communications Suite? I am using [or rather testing] The following
    products: Calendar Server 6, Messaging Server 6, Communications Express
    6, Web Server 6.1 and Access Manager 7. All on just one machine.
    I have managed to get Single Sign-On working fine with Comm Express but
    I can not seem to manage to get it working with SSL. I mainly want to
    run https via Comm Express to access messenger and calendar. This works
    great on http.
    I have also read [and read] SUN's documentation about setting up SSO
    with SSL but that is a bit confusing [to say the least]. I found in the
    Comm Express Admin Guide:
    Messaging SSO is not supported in SSL.
    Work around
    To support Messaging SSO with SSL perform the following steps:
    How to enable Messaging SSO with SSL
    1. Configure Web Server in SSL mode.
    2. Configure Communications Express for SSL port of Web Server.
    3. Set uwcauth.ssl.enabled=true.
    4. Set uwcauth.https.port to SSL port of Web Server.
    5. Enable Messaging Server in SSL mode.
    6. Set the webmail.port in uwcconfig.properties to SSL port of
    Messaging Server.
    7. Provide messagingsso.ims.url to Non SSL port of Messaging Server
    8. Install the Certificate Management Server root Certificate Authority
    (CMS root CA) on both Web Server and Messaging Server.
    9. Restart Web Server.
    10. Provide a value to local.webmail.sso.ims.verifyurl pointing to Non
    SSL port of Messaging Server.
    11. Restart Messaging Server.
    The problem here is what is meant by "CMS root CA" ?? of course when
    searched on Google I get the Communications Express Admin Guide lol :^)
    Anyways I got a Thawte Cert for the web server, this seems to work fine
    and the "uwc" login page works fine too. Now what do I do to get
    messenger to work? Get another Cert?? It says "install CMS root CA on
    both Web Server and Messenger" how??? maybe I need to create self
    signed certificates??
    I need to have calendar working too, there is a SSL setup for calendar
    but will it run with SSO uwc??
    I also run into the problem in the Admin Guides of using "iplanet
    console" to manage certs and some other features, what is this? of
    course I can't find it or SUN has changed its name [but still suggests
    to use it].
    Well I am a bit frustrated, maybe something I am missing or not read
    correctly [my apologies]. I do not think this to be uncommon to want an
    integrated mail and calendar application running SSO and SSL. So if
    anybody knows an easy step-by-step setup or a link to such a thing
    please let me know. I am not new to Unix nor Solaris but definitely
    know little about Communications Suite [or maybe SUN has changed that
    name too :^(
    Thanks in Advance

    Thanks Jay but I think we are now digressing. I am
    sorry if it sounds like I am complaining, I just want
    to figure out to how to make this work. Someone must
    know how to set this up step-by-step. I think I
    understand the difference between SSO and SSL and
    that they are not interchangeable, I want both to
    work.
    If I was to use only ME then I don't need SSO, I
    would just use it with SSL, which I still have not
    figured out how to do, because I do not know where to
    find iPlanet Console???Iplanet Console may be found in your Directory SErver install. command, "startconsole:
    You do not need to use Console for anything.
    You can use "certutil" to manipulate certificates, should you prefer to do that.
    You can use "configutil" to change config settings.
    do you know where it should
    be, is there a default path? Does it install with ME?It's really the Directory Server console. You have it.
    Can I download it?
    I also understand that the benefit of SSO is not to
    have to sign on several times and that in my case we
    are talking about 3 different pieces of software, CE,
    ME and Calendar [plus Access Manager].
    I am running my system with SSO on CE, ME and
    Calendar and it works great. I wish to offer this
    setup so my users can access both mail and calendar
    via one web interface, just like hotmail, yahoo etc.
    I also want remote users to access the same web
    b interface via SSL [their passwds will have some
    level of security]. As usual, you need to take these one step at a time. First, get your SSL working. Then get CE working. Then follow the documentation to get SSO working. It does work. Many others have been successful getting it all to work.
    The reason I asked about possibly another SUN product
    is because I have setup other products like IMP and
    Zimbra via SSL and they work in this fashion.
    I am fairly sure this is possible with these SUN
    products but I am still trying to figure out how to
    do it.
    This is why I am asking if anybody has any experience
    setting up this combination of products in this
    fashion, please let me know or guide me in the right
    direction.
    Thanks in advance

  • Communication Express Vacation Message year higher than 2006

    I use Java Enterprise System 2005Q4 with the following component is installed:
    - Messaging (Mail)
    - Calendar
    - Instant Messaging
    - Communication Express
    - .... blah blah blah ... etc.
    Had problem in the Vacation Message (on Communication Express web client) where I only can
    choose the year from 2000 until 2006 only, I want to add 2007 and above.
    i has edit
    /opt/SUNWuwc/install/Uwc-config_20060520121541/WEB-INF/domain/en/i18n.properties
    /opt/SUNWuwc/lib/config-templates/WEB-INF/domain/en/i18n.properties

    /var/opt/setup/Uwc-config_20060520121541/WEB-INF/domain/en/i18n.properties
    but still ... out of luck
    help me, please .... oh mama.

    Got patch number 23, install it, insert iscBeginYear propertise, restart Application Server, and
    Pray. Try the Vacation Message .... and ... still ... no change ... limited to 2006 shrugh
    OK ... I'm surrounded by client. No much time ... the last change is hard-coding ... for a moments ...
    to cold-down the situation.
    Here is what I change in the UWC file
    + edit mailPreferencesVacation.jsp (located at /var/opt/SUNWuwc/uwc/common)
    + search for line "jato:combobox name="startYear" ... blah ... blah .. blah
    uncomment this line so it's look like
             <!-- REMARK BY KASSLE
               <jato:combobox name="endYear" onChange="setDirtyCache()" />
             -->+ Add texts after the line above
             <!-- ADD BY KASSLE -->
             <select name="MailPreferencesVacation.startYear" onChange="setDirtyCache()">
              <option value="2000">2000</option>
              <option value="2001">2001</option>
              <option value="2002">2002</option>
              <option value="2003">2003</option>
              <option value="2004">2004</option>
              <option value="2005">2005</option>
              <option value="2006">2006</option>
              <option value="2007">2007</option>
              <option value="2008">2008</option>
              <option value="2009">2009</option>
              <option value="2010">2010</option>
             </select>
             <!-- ADD BY KASSLE -->+ Next, look for text "jato:combobox name="endYear" ... blah blah blah
    Do the same like the startYear, so the result is like this:
             <!-- REMARK BY KASSLE
               <jato:combobox name="endYear" onChange="setDirtyCache()" />
             -->
             <!-- ADD BY KASSLE -->
             <select name="MailPreferencesVacation.endYear" onChange="setDirtyCache()">
              <option value="2000">2000</option>
              <option value="2001">2001</option>
              <option value="2002">2002</option>
              <option value="2003">2003</option>
              <option value="2004">2004</option>
