Security Error Messages

Security error messages are generated from the security service of the VRC server.

They provide details about security-related operations, such as:

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).

Troubleshooting Tips

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:

ps -aef | grep dcx

If there is no DC directory server running, start the server by entering the dcdstart command.

CLASSPATH setting

cns.properties setting

If you find that there were errors during the installation process, you must reinstall the DC directory server and reload the CNS schema.
