Error:The secLdap plugin failed to connect to the specified hosts.

[Former Member]

We have created a java client connecting to BO server using BO SDK API.We are using LDAP authentication for connectivity to the server.It works fine in windows when we install SAP BO XI 3.1 SP5 client tools.

But when we try to connecto to the BO server without the client tools we were encountering secLDAP Error.We have included the required libraries and it compiles.But while connecting to the BO  server it throws the below exception,Also please suggest how do get this running in solaris environment sicne we do not have the client tools for the solaris environment.

Exception:

com.crystaldecisions.sdk.exception.SDKException$SecurityError: The secLdap plugin failed to connect to the specified hosts. (FWB 00028)

Hi Prabhakaran,

Are you using LDAP with SSL?

Thanks,

Hello Ravi,

Specify the path of cacerts as JVM arguments in your app server.

For example:

-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=/xxx/BusObj/ssl/cacerts 

     (The exact path used will depend on the folder structure)

-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=the password

You have to set the samr for solaris environment.

Thanks,

Hi Prithviraj,

Thanks for the reply.

We have standalone java client and it does n't have server.

Also we need this to be runnign in solaris environment.

For windows it works after installing the BO Client.

Thanks,

Hi Prabhakaran,

If you are using a stanalone java code, you would need to set the above properties in your java code, using the below keyword

For example:

System.setProperty("Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore",path_to_your_cacerts_file)

Setting the above lines for your SSL properties will work for Solaris as well. Try the same and let us know if it works for your solaris environment.

Thanks,

Hi Prithvi,

I tried with the suggestion you provided , but it still didnot work.

Please see if my approach is corrrect or not?

String certPath=

"C:\\Users\\Workspace\\MyHome\\B1AUTH.cer";

String a=System.setProperty("Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore",certPath);

System.out.println(a);

a=System.getProperty("Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore");

System.out.println(a);

com.crystaldecisions.sdk.framework.IEnterpriseSession iSession =

com.BO.pfitr.boreport.BOUtil.getEnterpriseSession(SID,cms, password,

"SecLDAP");// line of exception
