Hi, I eventually thought that....ie pin file.....however I am not aware Ive set the admin server for ssl.....the actual directory server is, and has a pin file and it starts....so I'll go back and make one. However from the docs, starting it at the command line should then see it asking for the password....I dont see that. There is nothing in the error log.... ======== [root@vuwunicooimm001 admin-serv]# ls -l total 32 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 28866 Jun 22 14:49 access -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 23 16:30 error [root@vuwunicooimm001 admin-serv]# tail access 130.195.53.100 - uid=ldapadmin, ou=Administrators, ou=TopologyManagement, o=NetscapeRoot [22/Jun/2010:13:03:44 +1200] "GET /slapd-vuwunicooimm001/Tasks/Operation/Restart HTTP/1.0" 200 2384 130.195.53.100 - uid=ldapadmin, ou=Administrators, ou=TopologyManagement, o=NetscapeRoot [22/Jun/2010:13:04:30 +1200] "POST /admin-serv/tasks/configuration/SecurityOp HTTP/1.0" 200 643 130.195.53.100 - uid=ldapadmin, ou=Administrators, ou=TopologyManagement, o=NetscapeRoot [22/Jun/2010:13:04:30 +1200] "POST /admin-serv/tasks/configuration/SecurityOp HTTP/1.0" 200 1338 130.195.53.100 - uid=ldapadmin, ou=Administrators, ou=TopologyManagement, o=NetscapeRoot [22/Jun/2010:13:04:40 +1200] "POST /admin-serv/tasks/configuration/SecurityOp HTTP/1.0" 200 1872 130.195.53.100 - uid=ldapadmin, ou=Administrators, ou=TopologyManagement, o=NetscapeRoot [22/Jun/2010:13:05:06 +1200] "POST /admin-serv/tasks/configuration/SecurityOp HTTP/1.0" 200 643 130.195.53.100 - uid=ldapadmin, ou=Administrators, ou=TopologyManagement, o=NetscapeRoot [22/Jun/2010:13:05:06 +1200] "POST /admin-serv/tasks/configuration/SecurityOp HTTP/1.0" 200 1338 130.195.53.100 - uid=ldapadmin, ou=Administrators, ou=TopologyManagement, o=NetscapeRoot [22/Jun/2010:13:05:16 +1200] "POST /admin-serv/tasks/configuration/SecurityOp HTTP/1.0" 200 1815 130.195.53.100 - uid=ldapadmin, ou=Administrators, ou=TopologyManagement, o=NetscapeRoot [22/Jun/2010:14:47:34 +1200] "POST /slapd-vuwunicooimm001/Tasks/Operation/ViewLog HTTP/1.0" 200 3883 130.195.53.100 - uid=ldapadmin, ou=Administrators, ou=TopologyManagement, o=NetscapeRoot [22/Jun/2010:14:47:58 +1200] "POST /slapd-vuwunicooimm001/Tasks/Operation/ViewLog HTTP/1.0" 200 2174 130.195.53.100 - uid=ldapadmin, ou=Administrators, ou=TopologyManagement, o=NetscapeRoot [22/Jun/2010:14:49:45 +1200] "GET /slapd-vuwunicooimm001/Tasks/Operation/Restart HTTP/1.0" 200 2270 [root@vuwunicooimm001 admin-serv]# ======== regards Steve n -----Original Message----- From: 389-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:389-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Techie Sent: Wednesday, 23 June 2010 5:30 p.m. To: General discussion list for the 389 Directory server project. Subject: Re: [389-users] restarting the 389 after a reboot What does /var/log/dirsrv/admin-serv/error say? Should give you a good clue. Kind of sounds like an SSL instance trying to start without a pin file but just guessing there.
