IFS-10620 when trying to connect to ifs (server side)

Question

hi!
I have deployed the ifs-classes and -properties to the database (8.1.7).
To call the Java-API I used following Class (out of the Oracle documentation)
// Copyright (c) 2001 Oracle Corporation
import oracle.ifs.beans.LibraryService;
import oracle.ifs.beans.LibrarySession;
import oracle.ifs.common.CleartextCredential;
import oracle.ifs.common.ConnectOptions;
import oracle.ifs.common.IfsException;
import oracle.ifs.common.ParameterTable;
public class HelloIFSWorld implements Runnable
ParameterTable params=null;
String username=null;
String password=null;
String servicename=null;
String schemapassword=null;
public HelloIFSWorld(String[] args)
params=new ParameterTable(args);
username=params.getString("user","system");
password=params.getString("password","manager");
servicename=params.getString("service","IfsDefault");
schemapassword=params.getString("schemapassword","bravo");
System.out.println("Running with arguments:");
System.out.println("username="+username);
System.out.println("password="+password);
System.out.println("servicename="+servicename);
System.out.println("schemapassword="+schemapassword);
System.out.println("---------Results----------");
public static void main (String[] args)
new Thread(new HelloIFSWorld(args)).start();
public void run()
try
System.out.println("Obtaining LibraryService.");
LibraryService lsrvc=new LibraryService();
System.out.println("LibraryService obtained for Oracle iFS version:"+lsrvc.getVersionString());
System.out.println("Obtaining LibrarySession.");
CleartextCredential cr=new CleartextCredential(username,password);
System.out.println("Obtaining ConnectOptions.");
ConnectOptions cop=new ConnectOptions();
System.out.println("setting servicename.");
cop.setServiceName(servicename);
System.out.println("setting schemapassword.");
cop.setServicePassword(schemapassword);
System.out.println("connecting.");
LibrarySession session=lsrvc.connect(cr, cop);
System.out.println("LibrarySession obtained for user:"+session.getUser().getName());
catch(IfsException e )
e.printStackTrace();
When I try to connect to the IFS this message comes up (call_HelloIFSWorld is a PLSQL-Wrapper-Function ...):
SQL> exec call_HelloIFSWorld;
Running with arguments:
username=system
password=manager
servicename=IfsDefault
schemapassword=bravo
---------Results----------
Obtaining LibraryService.
LibraryService obtained for Oracle iFS version: 1.1.5.0.0
Obtaining LibrarySession.
Obtaining ConnectOptions.
setting servicename.
setting schemapassword.
connecting.

In the IfsDefault.properties I used
DatabaseUrl=jdbc:default:connection:
as connection descriptor
Now, what could be wrong?

I don't think 'malware' is your issue. And probably not accurate to begin with.
PowerBook G4 would be running Tiger 10.4. I assume.
Your router/modem etc might be what you see.
When you log into your network equipment, harden it and make sure to change the defalt password, use something stronger (create and store in Keychain or another password manager).
AS much as I favor security I don't know of any WORM or router exploit, but there are always people that will look to do remote login.
If you ever use(s) a bittorrent client your IP got listed on P2P servers and you will see denial of service on your router/firewall.
NAS hard drives, printers, anything that can be shared?
And Apple has more than a few Networking Support articles.
Make sure your modem etc have the latest firmware, too.
