Weblogic 9.2 cluster install across 2 linux servers - authentication errors

Question

Hello all,
                    I am currently trying to install a 9.2 cluster across two Linux machines, but am having a few problems that I was hoping someone here could help with. I?ve been reading the documentation, but feel as though it?s getting me nowhere.
                    I have two servers, on which I have installed weblogic portal 9.2. On the first I have then used the configuration wizard to great an admin server and cluster members 1, 2 and 3.
                    A cluster is created and the three cluster members are assigned to it.
                    Then I configure two unix machines, for the servers 1 and 2.
                    I assign the admin server and cluster member 1 to the first server. Cluster members 2 and 3 are assigned to the second server.
                    The connection pools and JMS stores I left as the default values.
                    The configuration completes and a domain is created on the first server.
                    I have copied the complete user_projects directory to the second server. I didn?t want to go through the configuration steps on each server that weblogic was to be installed on, so this looked like the easiest way to get the startManagedWeblogic scripts onto the second server. Also I didn?t find anything in the documentation that mentioned how to set up a cluster across multiple machines in any detail, only how to install multiple instances on a single server and run them as a cluster.
                    I manage to start the admin server ok and can connect through the web based admin console.
                    The first cluster member also starts up on the first server.
                    Now I go to the second server again, and when I try to start the cluster members here I get Authentication errors:

Hello ,
          I can help you in this regard, (let me see).
          Let me start from the beginning.
          Assumptions:
          M1 is hosting 1-Admin server(AdminServer), 2-Managed Server(ms1,ms2),
          M2 is hosting 1 -managed server (ms3)
          1. Install WebLogic Server/Portal product on M1 and M2 say /home/user1/bea1 - on M1
          /home/user1/bea1 - on M2
          2. Create Cluster Domain using ConfigWiz/WLST.
               [ here I will talk abt Config Wiz)
               - Open config Wiz
          - Create domain in Production Mode.(ideally Cluster is not supported in Dev mode )
               - Create 1 Admin server, 3 Managed server Host = <M1> and config SSL port
                    AdminServer ? Host_M1
                    Ms1     ? Host_M1
                    Ms2     ? Host_M1
                    Ms3     ? Host_M2
          NOTE: *** Don't use IP addresses - use hostnames. The hostnames need to be specified in the correct format. When specifying a hostname, use the receiving server side's rules for SSL certificate hostname format when specifying the server address. The address that a client uses needs to match up with the server's SSL certificate host identity field ((example: pint21.bea.com on both server/client side, not just pint21 and other pint21.bea.com)
          Using the 'keytool' Java utility, verify the content of hostname identity embedded in the demo SSL certificate
          $ keytool -list -v -alias demoidentity -keystore DemoIdentity.jks
          Owner: CN=pisol18, OU=FOR TESTING ONLY, O=MyOrganization, L=MyTown, ST=MyState, C=US
          -     Config Data Source (conn pool) to Any DB Type you like, test them and run the DB scripts if applicable (Run DB).
          3. Create Managed Server template Using Pack/Unpack tool
          3.1     Using <WL_HOME>\common\bin\pack.cmd with ?managed option create managed server template.
          3.2     Using <WL_HOME>\common\bin\unpack.cmd on M2 to create the domain on Host2
          4. Starting the Admin Server
          5. Start the Managed server in many way. As given on edocs.
          http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs92/ConsoleHelp/taskhelp/clusters/StartOrStopAServer.html
          I hope this helps you,
          Thanks
          Viswa
