Sun Management Console doesn't support MD5 passwords?

I recently converted all our Sun systems to use MD5 passwords, using the Linux-BSD algorithm. I chose the Linux-BSD algorithm for compatibility reasons. After giving root a new password, now stored in MD5 format, I can no longer log in to the Sun Management Console (smc). I had the same problem with DB2. Switching root's password back to CRYPT fixed the issue.
Is this a known problem that Sun is working on? And how does this happen? Shouldn't the application leave authentication to the OS?

IIRC the Solaris 10 Basic admin guide talks about this issue.

Management Console Doesn't Display

Hi Experts ,
we are facing issue with Management Console doesn't display after login ,none of the screens shows any user or activity data.
Our DB admin went through the prerequisite list from note 1262933 and everything appears to be correct with the setup.

Enterprise Manager Console doesn' t show the correct data

Hi everyone,
we use a oracle 10gR1 rac with two nodes.
we use the oracle enterprise manager console but it does not work all parts of.
And the console is wrong with some parts of the data shows.
for example ;
in the home page, Performans Analysis section shows the date two months earlier. Why ?
(Period Start Time 25.Ara.2010 21:00:59 Period Duration (minutes) 60,02)
other example ;
in the performans tab, host section does not show any data.
why doesn't work this section?
what can i do?
oracle version = 10.1.0.5
OS platform = AIX node1 3 5 00C5116E4C00
thanks.

Hm... could be that your machine is low on RAM for java apps (yours and OEM Console). (You can check resource consumption via perfmon)

DNS/DHCP Management Console doesn't start

Folks,
I am running the DNS/DHCP Management Console in an old Windows XP Pro SP2 computer, and it works fine. But when I install it in my XP Pro SP3 computer it refuses to start. It stucks at the welcome screen with the globe animation and doesn't go any further. And there is also no apparent program or process to kill in the Task Manager, and the CPU util is zero. I have to log out and back in again to get rid of the welcome screen.
I am wondering if it may have something to do with the Java Runtime Environment (JRE)? I am using the latest version in my SP3 machine, where it doesn't work, and a much older version in my SP2 machine, where it works. I have not upgraded Java in that machine because I am afraid that the Management Console might stop working... If Java is the source of the problem, is it impossible to get it to work with a newer Java?

I wrote a TID on this, but it hasn't shown up yet. It is TID 7016049
As I am still waiting for it to show up on the public site, I will populate the resolution portion of the TID here. Hope it helps:
Despite uninstalling all older versions of Java, a remnant of the old install still exists. The offending file is javaw.exe, but there may also be a java.exe in the same location.
In the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 directory there may be a javaw.exe and java.exe from a previous installation. Check the properties > details tab of the file to confirm the version. If this javaw.exe is found first then Windows is directed to look in the wrong location in the registry for the Java Runtime Environment key. Once removed the javaw.exe from C:\Program Files\Java\JRE1.8.0_25\bin directory is found, which sends Windows down the correct path to find the necessary key in the registry.
Once the older version of javaw.exe is removed, the JMC should load.
The SysWOW64 directory is for 64-bit machines. If this error is being encountered on a 32 bit machine, then the superfluous javaw.exe must be found and removed. Process Monitor for Windows can be downloaded and utilized to track down the superfluous javaw.exe. As the java.exe is also superfluous, we recommend removing it to (or copy it out to a backup directory until testing is complete).

Enterprise Management Console doesn't work!

Hi, there,
I meet a strange problem. I use JDeveloper to make jsp project. the database is oracle 9i. I install JDeveloper and database on the same machine. at first, everything is ok. but suddenly I found that I can't run Enterprise Manager Console. the icon in the start meun became unrecognize. if I run the command on the command line, it's refused. I don't know what's the reason. but what's more strange is that I can run jsp project and store and retrieve data from database. I really don't know the reason, besides, how can I change database structure and view data stored in the database without Enterprise Manager Console?
my project will be used on the next week, but I don't know if this problem will effect funcation!
does there anyone know the reason and how can I resolve it? besides, my OS is windows xp professional.
any hint will be great appreciated!!

You can view your all values from Jdeveloper only .
Go for connection Database and click on user than u can c database structure and all tables views ....
Hope it helps

AirPort Management Utility doesn't support "n" Extremes?

Whenever I try to add a new Apple AirPort to the AirPort Management Utility (not the AirPort Utility for configuration) the application quits. I use it to manage losts of AirPorts and need this to work.
Any idea if there will be an update to this software to support the new AirPorts?
AirPort Extreme

As previous poster correctly stated, you must use the new Airport Utility which is (currently at least) available only on the CD that came with your AEBS(n). Note that there is an update to this software available after you have installed Airport Utility. You CANNOT install the update without first having installed the initial version of Airport Utility.
I doubt Airport Admin Utility will ever be updated; it will be replaced by Airport Utility at some time. Airport Utility works with all the older ABS antecedents and Airport Express as well as the newer AEBS(n).

Sun Management Console 2.0 - RMIERROR

Hi Guys,
SMC Loads up fine, but none of the modules are loading for me sSuch as performance).
The error which is returned is :
Performance is not able to connect to the server. Reason: RMIERROR. Verify that the server is running. If it is running, try stopping and restarting it.
I've tried
* stopping and starting wbem
* deleting /var/sadm/wbem
* deleting /var/sadm/smc
* uninstalling and then re-installing all smc packages
No luck so far.
I think it has something to do with my hostname. When i am loading up the tool, it asks me to grant permission for applets being loaded from SV4503 and localhost.
This never happened before.
Any ideas?

LDAP authentication with MD5 passwords

Hi,
in one of our Linux servers we have MD5 passwords stored in /etc/shadow. We want to implement pam_ldap on that machine, and move passwords to an LDAP database.
I know it is to be done with {crypt} storage scheme.
This works with DS 5.2 running on a Linux box, but under Solaris 8 I couldn't get it working. I know that Solaris 8 doesn't support MD5 passwords in its crypt(3) function, and I suppose Directory Server uses that. Somewhere I read that, however crypt() in Solaris 9 does support MD5.
Can you confirm that after upgrading to Solaris 9, authentication with MD5-hashed passwords will be possible? Has anyone tried it?
Thanks in advance,
Kristof

Thanks you for your reply.
Our openldap version is openldap-2.3.39
And all passwords are encrypted with : Base 64 encoded md5
Below is a sample password:
{md5}2FeO34RYzgb7xbt2pYxcpA==Thanks again for any help..

Adding Management Console After Solaris 10 Install

What packages must be installed to add Sun Managment Console to a base Solaris 10?
I've added SUNWmccom (and the SUNWj3dev package it depends on); but, this does not install the Management Console's binary, /usr/sbin/smc.
Thank you.

Answering my own question :-}
Per Solaris 10 "System Administration Guide: Basic Administration" Chapter 2 "Working With the Solaris Management Console (Tasks)":
SUNWmc
SUNWmcc
SUNWmccom
SUNWmcdev

Getting error while opening Sun access manager console

We are facing problem while accessing console of Sun Access Manager. We got No Page Found error whenever we try to access the Sun Access Manager console. We have tried restarting the directory server and web server but even that doesn�t help us. Following are the error that gets recorded in log files:-
ERROR: AuthD init() com.iplanet.dpro.session.SessionException: AuthD failed to get auth session
ERROR: Error creating service session java.lang.NullPointerException

The ns-slapd.exe process belongs to the Directory Server. You should therefore check if your DS instance is set up properly.

Sun Oner Application Server 7 Admin Console doesn't start

When I start the Admin Console for Sun One Application Server 7, and after I login, the admin console doesn't display in the browser. I have tried starting the admin console with IE and Netscape browser, but the admin console has failed to start in either IE or netscape.

-Type this in your IE
http://localhost:4848
-IF it does not work type the following
http://kishan:4848 ("kishan" is your machine name)
-IF it does not work do the following
Forgot the Admin Server Port Number? If you do not remember the HTTP server port number of the administrative server, you can inspect the administrative server's configuration file to determine the HTTP server port number.
1. Navigate to the <domain_config_dir>/domain1/admin-server/config/ directory.
2. Open the server.xml file in your favorite editor. Look for the element:
<http-listener id="http-listener-1" address="0.0.0.0" port="4848"...
In this case, port 4848 is the HTTP port number in use.
Forgot the Username or Password? If you do not remember the administrative user name that was supplied during installation, try the user name "admin". This is the default user name specified in the server configuration dialog during installation. If you still cannot determine the user name, look in the following file:
<domain_config_dir>/domain1/admin-server/config/admpw
This file contains the administrator's user name followed by the encrypted form of the administrative user's password.
If you do not remember the administrator's password, then you can delete the administrative domain using the delete-domain subcommand of asadmin and create a new domain with a new administrative password.
Port Not Accessible? If the connection was refused when attempting to contact the administrative server's admin console application, it is likely that the administrative server is not running. Go back to the beginning of this section and double check the your startup procedures and the content of the administrative server's log file to determine the reason why the server is not running.
