Visual Administrator - SLD DataSupplier write socket error

Question

Hello,
I have install SAP Solution Manager 4.0 and am trying to test the Http://host:port/SLD connection. I can successfully login as the J2EE_ADMIN but the administration tab does not show as selectable and all the documentation we have come across is advising us we need to get into the Administration area to configure the SLD.
We have tried to assign the LcrAdministrator role to the user and assign SAP_SLD_ADMINISTRATOR on the ABAP end as well but still had no luck.

Hi,
Here is the complete SLD configuration steps:
http://<host>:<port>/sld. say http://localhost:50200/sld
Enter user name and password, and then choose OK.
Give some valid name like "J2E" as object server.
Go to administration link on top, there click on the button to start the server. The server must be running.
Click on the import link, and in that page click on ‘Import CR content from the server’ button. It will import all required CR components in the list. (OR) alternatively, browse to the 
<server>\usr\sap\<SAPSID>\SYS\global\sld\model\
Import first Cimsap.zip and cr_content.zip (MS Windows) and then choose Open. It will take 10 to 15 minutes to complete.
Open Visual Administrator. Choose "SLD data supplier" service under Server-> services node.
Go to HTTP Settings, enter the following
Host : localhost
Port : 50000
User :
Password :
Go to CIM Client Generation Settings on same window
Enter the following
Host : localhost
Port : 50000
User :
Password :
After Saving the details click on “CIMClient Test”
A pop-up screen shows “CIMOMClient object generation and connection test successful”.  Click “Ok”.  Now SLD is configured.
