Dccs agent problem

Question

Hi,
I've recently installed the Java enterprise directory server, followed the procedures and logged in to the java webconsole.
Now i would like to add a new directory server. So i filled in the form
Host: known host: (the server itself)
LDAP port 189
secure LDAP port 190
Directory Manager DN: cn=directory manager
Required Field Directory Manager Password: ********
Required Field Confirm Password:      ********
Required Field Runtime User ID: root     
Required Field Runtime User Password:      ********
Provide the root password if Runtime User ID is nobody (UNIX)
Required Field DSCC Agent Port: 11162     
Required Field Directory Manager Password: **********      
Required Field Confirm Password:      
when I click next
I get this error:
Could not contact dscc agent on host. Use the command cacaoadm..........
I used the following commands:
./cacaoadm enable (to make sure it starts automaticly)
./cacaoadm list params to check if it uses the correct port
./cacaoadm restart
./cacaoadm verify configuration returns nothing :s
Whats wrong/missing?

Answer 1

cacaoadm is probably set to start up on localhost by default, and the DSCC is most likely trying to talk on the external interface.
# cacaoadm list-instances
default
# cacaoadm list-params -i default

network-bind-address=127.0.0.1
...snipped...
If this is the case, the "network-bind-address" setting needs to be set to "0.0.0.0" or to the IP address that you want to communicate on. The man page says to stop the cacaoam daemon before changing the network bind address parameter.
# netstat -an -f inet | grep 11162
127.0.0.1.11162 *.* 0 0 32764 0 LISTEN
# cacaoadm stop
# cacaoadm set-param network-bind-address=0.0.0.0
# cacaoadm start
# netstat -an -f inet | grep 11162
*.11162 *.* 0 0 32764 0 LISTEN
