IRM Client Station - how to configure?
I am using Simon Thorpe's virtual image for IRM demonstration (Linux, Virtual Box, gotten from http://retriever.us.oracle.com - for those who can access it). It works fine if I am using it together with the other, Windows XP image. However, I would like to use it with my (host) Windows 7 OS. I am unable, though, to configure the IRM Desktop to communicate with the image.
1. I modified Network Adapter of the image to Host Only (it did not start with the initial Bridged configuration)
2. eth0 IP address is assigned to 192.168.56.101
3. I added a line: 192.168.56.101 irm.oracle.demo to the Windows hosts file
4. ping irm.oracle.demo resolves the name and gets replies
5. (problems with IRM Management Console from the host computer) When I'm trying to reach the address https://irm.oracle.demo/irm_rights I get an error:
Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to irm.oracle.demo.
SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.
(Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)
6. Surprisingly, when I'm trying to do the same via https://192.168.56.101/irm_rights it works (I only had to confirm the security exception)
7. (problems with IRM Desktop) When I'm trying to add a server https://irm.oracle.demo/irm_desktop I also get an error:
Error Summary:
Synchronization failed for https://irm.oracle.demo/irm_desktop
Cannot connect to the IRM Server
Support Details:
<?xml version="1.0"?><wininet_error>12157</wininet_error>
8. I am able to connect to the server, if I use http://192.168.56.101/irm_desktop (+ providing a login credential admin/welcome1), but from any reason, the IRM Desktop application changes the name back to https://irm.oracle.demo/irm_desktop and when I'm trying to get contexts it fails with error above.
I use the latest IRM Desktop client downloaded today from oracle.com
