Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7 Admin Server Is Not Able To See The Sun Metaslot From The 64-bit Solaris Crypto Framework (SCF) Module (Doc ID 1466646.1)

Last updated on JUNE 20, 2024

Applies to:

Oracle iPlanet Web Server - Version 7.0 to 7.0 [Release 7.0]
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

iPlanet Web Server 7.0.13
Solaris 10 9/10

When running the Web Server instance in 64bit mode, and and using the Solaris SCF module, the Admin Server is not able to see the Sun Metaslot token.

The token can be seen in the modutil output: (modutil is located in <server-path>/bin or <server-path>/bin/sparcv9 for 64bit)

# modutil -dbdir . -nocertdb -list
