Infrastructure Software

Hi

I am having difficulty getting the VM Console-in-a-webpage facility working from within VM Manager. Whenever I click on the "CONSOLE" button I get a pop-up window (that should have the VNC console plugin running) simply with a java message of "Error: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission SERVERNAME resolve)"

This happens whether I use Firefox or IE (I only have access to Windows XP desktops) running JRE version 6 update 7.

Currently I am running VM Server 2.1.2 and VM Manager 2.1.2. I have downloaded and installed the tightvnc-java-1.3.9-3.noarch.rpm onto the server hosting the VM Manager. The oracle documentation only makes mention of installing the (tightvnc) RPM. I found from various blogs that you actually need to sign the vncviewer jar file, with the commands below:

/opt/oc4j/java/jdk1.5.0_11/bin/keytool -genkey -alias vncviewer -validity 365
/opt/oc4j/java/jdk1.5.0_11/bin/jarsigner VncViewer.jar vncviewer

I've tried restarting the OC4J daemon on the management server; rebooting the management server; flushing the JAVA cache on the workstations I've been using to connect to the management server; turned off all security in IE (for all zones). I still get the JAVA socketpermission error.

On the plus side I can connect to a VMs console using a standalone VNC client so I know it does work, however, that is not quiet as slick as connecting using the VM Manager webpages (you've got to know which "port" the VMs console is connected)...

I'm pretty sure it will be something really trivial that I've missed (wrong RPM version, wrong jarsigner syntax, wrong JAVA version, etc) but for the life of me I cannot find anything more either in this forum or out there on the web.

Any assistance would be gratefully received.

Regards

Mark
