Multiple obj.conf Files and nete-wa-config (18615, 56424)

Symptom:

Prior to Sun ONE/Sun Java System v6.0, all configuration information went into a single obj.conf file. For Sun ONE/Sun Java System v6.0, the mechanism to configure virtual servers changed. You can configure one or more new classes, and virtual classes in the instance.

By default, a new server instance has one virtual server class, named default class, whose configuration file is obj.conf.

Each additional class in the instance has an administrator-assigned name. The process of creating a new class and a virtual server within the class in the instance creates an associated configuration file, named new_class.obj.conf, by default. Normally, new_class is the name of the virtual server class, but you can configure the server to use a different name. The mappings between the configuration files and virtual server classes is done in the server.xml file.

Running the Web Agent configuration script, ca-wa-config, updates the obj.conf file; however, the AuthTrans, NameTrans, and PathCheck directives, and Service lines, are not written into new_class.obj.conf files.

Solution:

Update a new_class.obj.conf file manually, by copying the AuthTrans, NameTrans, and PathCheck directives, and Service lines, from obj.conf to the top section of new_class.obj.conf.

Note: To find these lines easily, you can run a "diff" program on the obj.conf and newclass.obj.conf files after running the Agent configuration script.
