ISW 6.0 SP1 Installation Failure

Question

I have installed an Oracle Directory Server Version 11.1.1.3.0 (Sun-Directory-Server/11.1.1.3.0 B2010.0630.2203) and try to install the Identity Synchronization for Windows (isw 6.0 sp1). As host system I use a Solaris 10 Update 8 on SPARC resource.
According to the install log-file (/var/sadm/install/logs/Iden....log) the Installation failed by the configuration from the "Sun Java System Administration Server":
Sun Java System Administration Server has been installed successfully
serial Id for the admin server is e2d8c4018faa6fe7a82b86121a99dde8ddc2d61c
Setup is configuring the Sun Java(TM) System Administration server.Please wait...  /var/tmp/ids7298372797935108083.sh
Java Accessibility Bridge for GNOME loaded.
Configuration Directory Server Administrator : Could not connect to ldap:
//s0007:389 with the administrator identity and password specified.Strangely enough, I could not enter a password in the console wizard step for the configuration of the Sun Java System Administration Server.
So, I have tried to install this manually. I started the "Sun Java System Administration Server" configuration - step by "/usr/sbin/mpsadmserver configure". This console wizard ask me neither for password and it failed too.
After some trial and error, I found a solution by passing the password with all other configuration data in a file by the parameter "-f” to the configuration wizard:
{code}/usr/sbin/mpsadmserver configure -f /home/admin/mpsInstall.ins{code}
With this "hack" I could passing the password-parameter to the configuration wizard (and he accept it). If I add a wrong password or other wrong configuration inputs, the wizard notice and signal me that.
But know, the installation stops with following log-file output:
{code}

What do I wrong. Have any ideas?
Thank you for any reply.

Are you sure to use a 1.6 Java environment. If not, do it since you may have unwanted side effects like display problems
or keyboard input problems.
So please uninstall and retry if you don't have a 1.6 java JRE.
Then, if you still meet the same error, check your configuration directory. It should be started, so if you don't see any access
(from the installation wizard) in the configuration directory access logs, it probably means that either your config. DS was not
started when the wizard ran, or the wizard doesn't connect to the right host/port. May be the system can not resolve your
config. DS hostname (s0007) for example.
If you see something in the (config. DS) access logs, please post it .
If you're not sure about which is your config. DS, then you can identify it by its suffix (or at least one of them), which must be
o=netscaperoot . So, just grep all your dse.ldif files for each DS instance you may have. One of them, (and only one !) should
have that suffix defined.
I hope this helps.
