getting following exception:

i have created an admin server, called adminserver
then i have created in the same domain a server called managedserver
both servers run on the same machine,at different port number.
i have created a machine, and associated managedserver to it.
in the machine/configuration/nodemanager i have set listenaddress localhost and
listenport 5555.
my nodemanager starts automatically at htat port. however, when i try to start
the managed server via adminserver console, i got the exception mentioned in
the subject.
can anyone help?
regards
marco
can anyone point me to the right direction for solving this problem?
in the adminserver console i have defined a machine for teh managedserver, and
nodemanager is supposed to run at localhost:5555 (and indeed it does, because
ihave started it successfully).
thanx in advance and regards marco

Marco.
Sorry, this is not a solution to your problem but i am trying to solve the same
problem for a week now.
I have wl7.0 sp2, 1 admin server, 2 managed servers on the same box. I get the
same error. I know that the default certificate installed provides a hostname
verification of weblogic.com. I turned the hostname verification off, i put in
the Dweblogic.nodemanager.sslHostNameVerificationEnabled=false, i get the same
error when starting the managed server. I went ahead and created my own certificate
for machine called mallik, created my own passphrase, created a new keystore,
made the admin server view the keystore, used the same certificate for both the
admin server and the node manager. It still fails with the same error. I went
ahead and added the machine 'mallik' to nodeManager.hosts file. It fails. I am
totally confused now what needs to be done.
My nodeManger.hosts looks like this:
mallik 10.100.10.130
managedServer1 10.100.10.130
managedServer2 10.100.10.13
Below is the startNodeManager.cmd.
@echo off
@rem *************************************************************************
@rem This script can be used to start the WebLogic NodeManager
@rem
@rem This script sets the following variables before starting the NodeManager:
@rem
@rem WL_HOME - The root directory of your WebLogic installation.
@rem NODEMGR_HOME - The home directory for this NodeManager instance.
@rem JAVA_HOME - Location of the version of Java used to start WebLogic
@rem Server. This variable must point to the root directory of
@rem a JDK installation and will be set for you by the
@rem          installer. See the WebLogic platform support page
@rem (http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/platforms/index.html) for an up-to-date
list of
@rem supported JVMs on Windows NT.
@rem PATH - Adds the JDK and WebLogic directories to the system path.
@rem CLASSPATH - Adds the JDK and WebLogic jars to the classpath.
@rem JAVA_OPTIONS - Java command-line options for running the server. (These
@rem will be tagged on to the end of the JAVA_VM and MEM_ARGS)
@rem JAVA_VM - The java arg specifying the VM to run. (i.e. -server,
@rem -client, etc.)
@rem MEM_ARGS - The variable to override the standard memory arguments
@rem passed to java
