Windows 2003 mapped network drive not readable as a document root directory. 

Additional Information: To use a document root in a shared network resource, a UNC path has to be used, for example, //machine-name/shared-folder-name. A mapped drive letter like X: will not work as document root. You can specify the document root either manually in server.xml or through the Administration GUI by accessing Virtual Server Class->Content Management->Primary Content Directory.

For using a shared directory on UNIX, do the following: 

1. Install SFU (Windows Services for UNIX) on the Windows machine where Web Server is installed.

2. Map the Windows users and groups to UNIX users and groups through the SFU user interface shortcut under the Start menu.

   ---

   Note –

   While running Web Server, User Name Mapping Service (which is part of SFU) has to run.

   ---

When using a shared directory from another Windows machine, ensure that the password of the Administrator account on both the machines is the same, otherwise the service will not be able to access the network resource. 

Whether the shared directory is on UNIX or Windows, the service representing the instance server has to run as a particular user of Administrators group like ./Administrator rather than running it on the default local system account. Go to Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services and make the changes in the Properties dialog box.

6384651 

For HP-UX: Web Server sometimes returns the wrong last-modified header and date header. 

6404983

6360180 

Crash in webapps/qa_app/jsp/encodedurlforwarder.

6316881 

Multibyte characters in headers cannot be retrieved by req.getHeader().

Workaround:

By default, request headers are encoded using UTF-8 enc. You can customize request header encoding at the web application level by following these steps:

1. Set the value of the configuration parameter use-requestenc-for-headers to any value such as yes, true, or on, in the web application's sun-web.xml.

   In the following example, request header encoding is enabled for the web application:

   <sun-web-app>
    <parameter-encoding form-hint-field="j_encoding">
    <property name="use-requestenc-for-headers" value="true" >
    <session-config>
      <session-manager>
    </session-config>
    <jsp-config>
   </sun-web-app>

2. Set the name of the character encoding in the application (JSP/Servlet) using request.setCharacterEncoding().

4991884 

6246214 

Search indexing hangs on large .doc files.

Workaround:

1. Add the following property within the SEARCH element.

   <SEARCH>
     <PROPERTY name="conversionExtensions" Value="pdf,doc">
     :
     :
   </SEARCH>

2. Restart the server.

3. Add .doc files to the collection.

6356179 

The Administration Server of Web Server 6.1 does not change the id attribute in the USERDB tag.

Additional Information: To change the id attribute in the USERDB tag, use either of these two option:

• Create one virtual server class file. Use this class file as template to create multiple virtual servers. In this case, most of the configuration defined by VS Class will be inherited by all virtual servers.

• Create multiple virtual server class files within a server instance (https-localhost). Each of these virtual server class files can contain one or more virtual servers.

6322443 

NSFC buffer size should be configurable (64-Bit). 

Additional Information: Use the new BufferSize nsfc.conf directive to configure the size of the buffer used to transmit file contents on cache misses. The following directive can be added to nsfc.conf to increase the buffer size from its default of 8192 bytes to 16384 bytes: BufferSize=16384

Larger buffer size might result in improved throughput at the cost of increased latency and memory utilization. 

6234284 

JES3 Web Server installation fails or core dumps if the Administration password contain shell meta characters such as ;, $, &, ^, *. (. ), |, <, >, ', `,”, \, and so on in the Administration password.

SSL: Data larger than 8k is huge when the request triggers new SSL handshake. 

Additional Information: By default, Web Server can upload files of sizes up to 1 MB (when client certificate authentication is optional). To upload files larger than 1 MB, increase SSLClientAuthDataLimit in the magnus.conf file. In case of simultaneous uploading of very large files, Web Server uses large amount of memory. To minimize memory utilization do any of the following actions:

• If authentication is not required, turn off authentication.

• If authentication is required, make it mandatory by setting require=1 in the obj.conf.

PathCheck fn="get-client-cert" dorequest="1" require="1"

6229472

Additional Information: Set the isSecure attribute of the session cookie for the web application under the cookie-properties to either true or false in the web application's sun-web.xml. The default value is true.

In the following example, isSecure is set to false for the web application by setting the parameter value to false.

<session-config>
    <cookie-properties>
      <property name="isSecure" value="false">
    </cookie-properties>
</session-config>

6171950 

Precompiled JSP files do not work as expected with reload-interval parameter in sun-web.xml.

Workaround: Use the property use-precompiled (set to true under jsp-config in sun-web.xml) to specify that the JSP files are precompiled and should never need to be compiled at runtime.

A sample sun-web.xml is as follows:

<sun-web-app>

Vignette NSAPI plug-in on Web Server 6.0 not functioning correctly when HTTP1.1 is used. 

4761188 

LDAP: Improve LDAP dynamic group performance for ACLs. 

For performance reason, a new LDAP configuration parameter, dyngroups fast is introduced for SP2. With this parameter, Web Server will make an assertion about group membership bypassing nested individuals among dynamic groups.

For example, assuming that user alpha belongs to group A, group A is a member of group B by group B memberURL definition (dynamic group), and your ACL only grants group B access. In such case, web server will deny access from alpha because alpha is not regarded as member of group B.

If you want to support a nested group, do not define this new config for LDAP authentication service. You will not get performance gain consequently. A sample configuration directory is as follows: 

ldapregular ldap://localhost:389/o=TestCentral

ldapregular: dyngroups fast

Keep-alive subsystem should be dynamically tuned. 

The keep-alive subsystem requires tuning for optimal performance. In Web Server 6.0 this subsystem was tuned for heavy load and performs poorly when only a handful of concurrent keep-alive connections exist. The keep-alive subsystem was modified for Web Server 6.1 SP2 so it performs some dynamic tuning to accommodate the actual load.

The upload-file SAF does not work correctly with chunked requests.

4882838 

Unable to specify protocol for URL in generated redirects. 

The server generates a self-referencing URL whenever it sends a redirect to a client. As of Web Server 6.1 SP1, the servername attribute of the LS element in server.xml can be used to configure the scheme used in server-generated self-referencing URLs.

For example, if an SSL offloader sits between the Internet and the Web Server instance, decrypting SSL-encrypted traffic for http://www.sun.com and relaying it to the Web Server on port 8080, an LS element such as the following could appear in server.xml:

<LS remap="ls1" port="8080" security="disabled"...servername="https://www.sun.com">

The https:// prefix in the servername value instructs the server to use the HTTPS scheme in self-referencing URLs even though the LS is not configured to handle SSL traffic.

Search engine does not extract and index FTS information from PDF files. 

Fix details: This fix applies to all supported platforms except Linux.

The Author, Subject, and Keywords meta tags are always indexed. Functionality has been added that now enable arbitrary meta tags to be indexed, including those tags produced when converting the FTS_* attributes from PDF files. Manual configuration of a new setting in server.xml is required, as described below.

• In the SEARCH section of server.xml, add a PROPERTY with name="indexMetatags". The value should be a comma-delimited list of meta tag names. Note that the Author , Subject, and Keywords meta tags are always indexed, regardless of this setting.

• To index the meta tags resulting from the conversion of PDFs and other types of documents, this configuration must use the name of the meta tag rather than the name of the field in the particular document type. For example, to index the FTS_Title contents from PDF files, "Title" must be a component of the "indexMetatags" setting:

  <PROPERTY name="indexMetatags" value="Title">

See issue 4956415 for details about displaying custom meta tag information in search results.

(Windows 2003 only) Report generation fails with lganalyz.exe application error in Web Server 6.1 SP6.

Workaround:

1. Log in to the Web Server machine.

2. Go to WSinstall\bin\https\httpadmin\bin.

3. Run the flexanlg util command to get the report, for example, C:/Sun/WEBSER~1.1/extras/flexanlg/flexanlg -F -n jwsoffice -x -i C:/Sun/WEBSER~1.1/HTTPS-~2/logs/access -c hnrfeuok -t s5m5h10 -l c+5h5 -p ctl

• Type the above command in a continuous line.

• Replace jwsoffice with your hostname or IP address. You also can export the output to an HTML file and use a browser to view it. For more information on the flexanlg utility, see Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 SP8 Administrator's Guide.

6413819 

Contents do not get updated under a particular situation on HP-UX 11.0 platforms. 

The HP-UX operating system has two cache spaces, Page Cache and Buffer Cache, for accessing files. Normally, when the application performs the mmap function, the file is mapped to Page Cache.

However, currently the operating system has no responsibility to synchronize the data between the Page Cache and Buffer Cache if the mmap is performed as PRIVATE option. Even if you copy the file, the operating system refreshes the cached data only in the Buffer Cache.

Workaround: Use a text editor to update the contents each time.

6404983 

Searching of Users and Groups through LDAP server using Administration Graphical User Interface fails. 

Workaround: For this feature to work, install Red Hat AS 3.0 update 1–uname -r: 2.4.21-9.ELsmp.

5060906 

Authorization dialog appears for an unprotected directory without an index file. 

Additional information: If a directory does not have an index file such as index.html, index.jsp, or home.html, then while turning on ACL authentication anyone with read and write permission is denied the list access even though this directory is unprotected.

Workaround: To revert back to the previous behavior of 6.1, change the default ACL so that anonymous users are allowed list privileges. Make the change as follows:

allow (read, execute, info, list) user = "anyone"

6543821 

6531819 

If you remove a listen socket or change its port number and restart or reconfigure the server, the server fails to close the old listen socket. The operating system continues to accept connections on that port, but the server will not respond to requests on that port. 

Work around: Close the old listen socket, stop the server and restart it.

6301761 

ACL applet might fail to load with Mozilla 1.4 and Firefox 1.0.6.

When Distributed Administration is enabled, the local Administration user is disabled. 

Workaround: Create a user with the default Administration user name within the distributed Administration group.

The newly created LDAP Administration user must have the same password as the Web Server Administration user. 

4725683 

The log file date stamp does not take the local time zone into account and shows the incorrect date. 

Workaround: If the date in the log file filename extension should match the date of the log entries, configure the server to rotate the log files at 23:59.

4761960 

Web Server 6.0 SP4: Cannot enable Distributed Administration when using SASL and anonymous bind. 

Workaround: Do not use anonymous bind to an SSL-enabled directory server.

4841310 

Can't get REMOTE_USER variable when authenticated by .htaccess.

Workaround: If you enable .htaccess files, the server checks for .htaccess files before serving resources. The server looks for .htaccess files in the same directory as the resource and in that directory's parent directories, up to and including the document root. For example, if the Primary Document Directory is set to /sun/server/docs and a client requests /sun/server/docs/reports/index.html, the server will check for .htaccess files at /sun/server/docs/reports/.htaccess and /sun/server/docs/.htaccess.

Note that the server's Additional Document Directories and CGI Directory functionality allows an administrator to define alternate document roots. The existence of alternate document roots affects .htaccess file processing. For example, consider a server with the Primary Document Directory set to /sun/server/docs and a CGI program at /sun/server/docs/cgi-bin/program.cgi.

If you enable CGI as a File Type, the server will evaluate the contents of both /sun/server/docs/.htaccess and /sun/server/docs/cgi-bin/.htaccess when a client issues a request for the CGI program.

However, if you configure a CGI Directory at /sun/server/docs/cgi-bin, the server will inspect /sun/server/docs/cgi-bin/.htaccess but not /sun/server/docs/.htaccess. This occurs because specifying /sun/server/docs/cgi-bin as a CGI Directory marks it as an alternate document root.

4865295 

The End User Administration feature (under Distributed Administration in the Administration interface) is no longer supported. 

4882999 

Inconsistent look and feel of the Administration GUI. 

4888696 

The Add Server page in the Administration GUI disappears in Netscape Navigator 7.0 when insufficient information is provided. 

Workaround: Provide complete information on the Add Server page before clicking OK. If necessary, reload the page to restore the Add Server GUI, or click another page or another tab and then navigate back to the Add Server page. This problem occurs only in Netscape Navigator 7.0.

4910309 

The word `null' is incorrectly displayed on an alert message. 

This word displays when editing directory services in the Pick Directory for Virtual Server page in the Virtual Server Manager. 

4905808 

Superusers cannot access the Administration interface after enabling distributed administration. 

Workaround: After enabling distributed administration, create a user in LDAP with the same administration user name and password as that of superuser.

4908694 

Default link not working for Logging Settings.

The default link on the Logging Settings for Virtual Server page does not set the default path, but rather acts as a reset button.

webservd child process orphaned when Solaris crypto softtoken (libpkcs11.so) is used in Web Server 6.1SP5 64-bit.

Workaround: This problem occurs only when the server is explicitly configured to use the Solaris softtoken. If you have to use fork(), Runtime.exec(), or <!--#exec cmd="..."-->, do not configure the server to use the Solaris softtoken.

6313832 

Existing 32-bit plug-ins cannot be used with the 64-bit release. Attempting to load a 32-bit plug-in using the 64-bit Sun Java System Web Server release will result in an error message such as the following:

JDK only upgrade results in disabling search. The user receives an exception, and the search page is not accessible from the GUI. 

Workaround: This exception does not happen if Web Server 6.1 SP2 core is installed along with or prior to installing JDK alone. In addition, if Web Server 6.1 SP2 core is installed on top of a JDK-upgraded Web Server 6.1 SP1, the exception does not show up.

4855263 

Sun Java System Web Server will not start if it is installed into a directory with spaces in the name, for instance, Program Files. You will not receive an error message about this during installation, but following installation the server will not start.

Workaround: Do not install the Web Server into a directory with spaces in the name.

4869238 

On the Windows platform, the Sun Java System Web Server installer does not accept a long name as server-root.

Workaround: Specify a path name for the Sun Java System Web Server installation directory that is no longer than 128 characters even though the field allows you to type up to 256 characters.

4901205 

On the Solaris platform, Control-B does not work on screens that follow the Fully Qualified Domain Name screen in the installer, starting with the User and Group Name screen.

Workaround: If you need to return to previous screens during the installation, quit the installer and start again.

4937915

For Linux: /opt/sun/private/share/lib/ktsearch.jar

For Solaris SPARC: /usr/share/lib/ktsearch.jar

5007081 

Web application file status ignored during migration from 6.0 to 6.1 

Web application status defined at the file level in the server.xml file is not migrated. If a user has switched off the status of the web applications file to suppress them, upon migration these web applications are exposed.

Workaround: Edit the server.xml file of the migrated instance and turn off status for each web application.

4988156 

Installation of SP_2 patch on existing install (update)

4977315 

5038203 

AIX-Search Engine of 6.1 should have the ability to change the sort order. 

Workaround: To change the default order, add `+' as a first character of the sort string. Because `+' in URI is escaped, use `%2B' to change the order. In this case, change the URL to http://host/search/index.jsp?si=1&ns;=10&c;=test&qt;=*&sb;=%2Bwriter.

4684124 

If the document root of an already indexed collection is changed, the document returned by the search throws a Document Not Found error.

Workaround: Rebuild the entire collection by performing one of the following actions:

• Remove all documents and add them back again.

• Delete the collection and create it again.

4911725 

Search does not work when you search for a word using a different case pattern. 

Search results are not displayed on the the search page if you search using a word of mixed case. For example, typing sAmpLe instead of sample or SAMPLE. 

4963236

This problem occurs if the following patch is installed on the HP-UX 11i system: 

PHSS_28871 — ld/linker cumulative patch

4671445 

Sun Java System Web Server cannot connect to an LDAP server over SSL if LDAP client authentication is required. 

If Sun Java System Web Server contacts an LDAP server that requires client authentication (in this case, the Web Server is the client), the Web Server’s certificate cannot be sent and access will fail. 

4863599 

Cannot use the same group name under different organizational units. 

If the same group name is used and you try to restrict access with the group name, Sun Java System Web Server returns an error when clients try to access the site. 

Workaround: Use a different group name for each organizational unit.

4963468 

In some circumstances, the “list” right has no effect on directory listing. 

According to Chapter 9 of the Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 Administrator’s Guide, the “list” right is required to obtain directory listings from directories that do not contain an index file. However, in certain circumstances you can obtain a directory listing even if the applicable ACLs deny the list right.

If you need to restrict directory indexing, disable indexing, as discussed in Chapter 16 of the Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 Administrator’s Guide, instead of or in addition to denying the list right.

6310956 

6298215 

When LDAP drops the connection because of inactivity, for example, timeout set on the LDAP, Web Server is unable to re-initialize the connection to LDAP. This problem only occurs when Web Server is installed as part of the JES3/JES4 install. The problem does not exist in stand-alone (file-based) installation.  

Workaround:

1. Copy the library libldap50.so from the file-based installation of Web Server and paste it to the following location in your current setup: /opt/SUNWwbsvr/bin/https/lib

2. Restart the Web Server.

4905696 

On Windows, deployment fails if the class file depth along with the file name exceeds 255 characters. 

4912181 

On Linux, a null pointer exception is thrown when deploying an application using the wdeploy command-line utility. This problem happens at the end of deployment, and only if it succeeds.

Workaround: The error occurs when wdeploy reads the stdout/stderr after executing reconfigure script following deployment. Check whether the server did reconfigure by looking in the errors log for the reconfigure message. If the message is not there, then run the reconfigure script manually.

6387189 

Java logging issues in a deployed module. 

4903162 

Issue on Windows related to the case of url-patterns.

As per the Servlet specification, the url-pattern elements in web.xml are case sensitive. This condition might lead to unexpected behavior for Windows users, for example, if a client makes a request for index.HTML expecting this string to match index.html.

4892017 

Unable to rename or move a resource if the parent directory is locked exclusively. 

This problem occurs when DAV clients send the incorrect If : header. For example, if you connect to the Web Server using Macromedia Dreamweaver or DAV Explorer, create a collection, and then lock the collection with depth infinity, which locks all of its resources as well, you will not be able to rename or move a resource. Adobe GoLive sends the correct If : header only if the lock’s owner href matches auth_user. In all other cases with GoLive, the wrong header will also be sent.

4902651 

Lock Management screen in the Virtual Server Manager does not display the lock information properly for hard links. 

Symbolic links, hard and soft, are not supported by the WebDAV implementation in Sun Java System Web Server. 

4937055 

The Administration online help of Web Server is not localized.  

The Administration online help has been localized only up to the first level. The initial help pages are localized but clicking the links on a page, for example, Removing a Server displays help content in the English language. 

6441984 

The Administration online help is displayed in English even if the locale is set to zh-cn.

For zh-cn locale, the Administration GUI online help is in English. If the browser locale is zh-cn, then the complete Administration GUI online help is displayed in the English language.

Workaround: Set the browser's prefer locale to zh to view the online help in the Chinese language.

6583870 

Web server 6.1 SP8: In Internet Explorer 7, you can select the locale as ja or ja-JP. If you select the locale as ja, online help is displayed in Japanese. But when you select the locale as ja-JP, online help is displayed in the English language.
