Hi, I probably caused a major hiccup in my system - I can't log onto anymore by the Java console to the Administration Server. Unfortunately, my direcory server knowledge is not yet very deep so I got lost now. Last action I had done before that the attempted removal of SSL encryption from the Administration Server. Originally, I had connected with SSL encryption to the Admin Server. I then went to Configuration - Encryption, unchecked "Enable SSL for this server" saved everything and restarted dirsrv-admin on the command line. The outcome was as desired: Originally I connected the console by "https://admin.example.com:20126";. After this change, connecting via "http://admin.example.com":20126"; worked. In both cases, I connected from a remote PC. But then I goofed by rechecking "Enable SSL for this server" and saving the settings (nothing else was changed, in particular not the previously working certificate settings). After I few distractions I had forgotten about this and restarted the dirsrv-admin. Since then I can't log on via fedora-idm-console anymore. Neither "https://admin.example.com:20126"; nor "http://admin.example.com":20126"; works anymore. For https://admin.example.com:20216, I get the error: Cannot connect to the Admin Server "https://admin.example.com:20126"; The URL is not correct or the server is not working. For http://admin.example.com:20216, I get this error: Cannot log on because of an incorrect User ID, Incorrect password or Directory problem. java.io.EOFException: Connection lost OK, the second failure I expected, but not the first one. I ca not believe that it is a typing error in URL, user name or password as all this information comes from a script and except for https/http, there were no modifications at all to this script. For both attempts, /var/log/dirsrv/admin-serv/error shows > [Fri Aug 14 16:19:05 2009] [error] SSL Library Error: -12268 Cannot > connect: SSL is disabled > [Fri Aug 14 16:19:25 2009] [error] SSL Library Error: -12268 Cannot > connect: SSL is disabled > [Fri Aug 14 16:32:39 2009] [error] SSL Library Error: -12268 Cannot > connect: SSL is disabled > [Fri Aug 14 16:35:26 2009] [error] SSL Library Error: -12268 Cannot > connect: SSL is disabled So it seems to me as if during the attempted reenabling of SSL on the Admin Server, something went really wrong. Hence my question: Is it possible to force SSL usage from the Admin Server by command line? I saw http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:SSL#Starting_the_Server_with_SSL_enabled and hoped that something similar is possible in reverse direction? Is there any way to overcome this problem? It would be most appreciated is a complete reinstallation could be avoided. I was on the way to a full backup (I do have an LDIF export) when I encountered problems and messed up things while trying to get the backup done. Any advice would be highly appreciated!
