Security error messages are generated from the security service of the VRC server.
They provide details about security-related operations, such as:
Login
CNS data access errors due to topology change
General information about the Cisco Network Service (CNS) security system
When you encounter Security error messages, use the console to set the debug of the security subsystem to on.
Note: The CNS security services GUI relies on the correct installation of Tomcat, which is part of the VRC installation procedure (or part of the PTC installation procedure if you are using VRC integrated with PTC).
For more information on the VRC installation procedure, refer to the following URL:

This section describes troubleshooting tips for security errors that are associated with the CNS security service.
VRC 1.1 uses CNS security service for user administration. CNS security service is a set of security solutions built on Role Based Access Control (RBAC). Data Connection (DC) directory server stores the security data which the CNS security service needs to process.
If the security service fails to initialize during the VRC server initialization, check the following:
Determine if the DC directory server is running by entering the following command:
ps -aef | grep dcx
If there is no DC directory server running, start the server by entering the dcdstart command.
Check the CNS security service API package settings, including:
CLASSPATH setting
cns.properties setting
Check the application data loaded to the DC directory server to see if it matches the VRC 1.1 requirements.
If you find that there were errors during the installation process, you must reinstall the DC directory server and reload the CNS schema.
