hi

on my new bes 5.0 HA setup i cannot login to the bms page

when i browse to it

https://bes01:8843/webconsole/app the page loads, get the ssl certificate error, then i get the login page.

enter my login details and after about 1 minute i get the message.

The application has encountered a system error. Please report this error to the System Administrator.
Please return to the home page or log in again.

the entry in the log is as follows:

(10/04 12:07:06:593):{http-8843-2} [com.rim.bes.bas.web.common.BASBasePage] [DEBUG] [BBAS-200] {unknown} User is logged in... need to refresh security session.
(10/04 12:07:06:597):{http-8843-2} [com.rim.bes.bms.web.console.base.UserSessionProxy] [DEBUG] [BBMS-200] {unknown} Invoke: isStoreToSessionNeeded using com.rim.bes.bms.web.console.base.impl.UserSessionI mpl

i have tried from a variety of different clients (cleared history cache etc) but no joy

on my production server (non HA) it is working absolutely fine

on both the production bes 5 and the test bes 5.0 HA all the bes services and sql services are installed on 1 server and have changed the port to 8843 so it does not conflict with the other service using the same default port of 8443

anyone else seen this?

cheers

Having the same error.
Try this : it works for me.

Apparently there is an issue with the WebGenKey.bat and post Sept 3rd.

Steps to correct
1) Shut down all four BMS services
2) Change the date on the server to Sept 1st 2010
3) Rename the web.keystore file to web.keystore.old in C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Enterprise Server\Monitoring Service\bin
4) open command prompt and drill down into C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Enterprise Server\Monitoring Service\bin
5)run this command and replace *password* with your ssl password and *FQDN* with the fqdn of your BMS server
webGenKey.bat "C:\PROGRA~1\Java\JDK16~1.0_1" "C:\PROGRA~1\RESEAR~1\BLACKB~1\MONITO~1\" *Password* *FQDN*
5)Open regedit and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Enterprise Server\Monitoring Service\ change the KeyStorePass to what password you set in step 5 in the command.
6) Start all BMS services.
7) log into the BMS service.

hi

i noticed that post but did not think it was applicable to my situation

will run this and let you know how it goes

thanks

[elbutre]

perfect, it did the trick for me too, thanks very much

i rebooted the bes server this morning and the monitoring page is no longer working (Same error as before). is this expected behaviour after a reboot and do you have to do those 8 steps each time after a reboot? please tell me that is not the case

[TeBear77]

in the fix I posted when I reboot I do not have to redo the fix.

can you verify that in the registry the KeyStorePass is correct?

[elbutre]

the keystorepass is correct, just checked it

[Raiden]

same here - page cannot be displayed

[Raiden]

I notced that in the registry there is a database folder under Blackberry Enterprise Server, this folder has the BES database in there, should this be the monitoring service DB?

[illy]

the webkeygen workaround failed for me, but the second workaround did the trick.

uninstall install monitoring service; then re-install monitoring service and do NOT start the services when done. Change the system time to sept 1, then start the services, and change back the system time when services are fully started.

does that work for you, or is uninstalling monitoring service not an option?

[Raiden]

This works

"uninstall install monitoring service; then re-install monitoring service and do NOT start the services when done. Change the system time to sept 1, then start the services, and change back the system time when services are fully started"
