No licence file: further startup cancelled

Question

Hi
Installed EDQ into WebLogic ... followed the Advanced installation steps but recieved this error when starting the managed server hosting dndirector app. Testing the installation on Windows 7.
INFO: Refreshing com.datanomic.director.startup.WebApplicationContext@1e4acce: display name [Root WebApplicationContext]; startup date [Thu Apr 18 17:20:24 EDT
2013]; root of context hierarchy

<18-Apr-2013 5:20:25 o'clock PM EDT> <Notice> <Log Management> <BEA-170027> <The Server has established connection with the Domain level Diagnostic Service successfully.>
EDIT:
The app is looking for a director.lic file under the server\dndirector\WEB-INF\config directory but the file doesn't exist there or anywhere for that matter.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Hi,
Just to be clear to all reading this.
The issue here is that the default SSL certificate created during a WebLogic install is blocked by recent versions of Internet Explorer due to its keysize (512 bits) - see Microsoft knowledge base article 2661254. This will prevent the display of the HTTPS web pages required to complete an EDQ install and to administer EDQ after installation.
There are two ways to get over this:
1) Use a different browser. This will enable you to complete the installation, at least. If you then need to use IE on an ongoing basis you will also need to do 2.
2) Generate and attach a new certificate that will not be blocked (using an RSA keysize of 1024 or 2048 bits for example). To do this, please consult the Weblogic documentation for Configuring Identity and Trust, and especially the section Using the Keytool Utility.
It is not recommended to attempt to take pieces from the proper config directory and place them in the temporary directory WEB-INF. This is not necessary and does not help resolve the problem, which is really just about displaying secure web pages.
The EDQ documentation will be updated shortly to reflect the above.
Regards,
Mike
