fact

Novell eDirectory 8.7.3 for Windows 2000

symptom

Unable to login to eMBox

Error: com.novell.eMBoxSDK.ConnectFailedException: Login failed. Cannot connect to the specified server

Error: com.novell.eMBoxSDK.NeedLoginException: Need login first

Error: Unable to login

cause

JVM 1.3.1 is bundled with eDirectory 8.7.3 which needs JVM 1.4.2. When you are trying to start edirutil.exe it is calling java.exe from c:\novell\nds\embox\jre which contains JVM 1.3.1

fix

Reported to engineering

note

Workaround:

1. Copy JVM 1.4.2 from java.sun.com and copy to c:\novell\nds\embox\jre

     If necessary you can download JVM 1.4.2 from http://java.sun.com

2. If you already have a JVM 1.4.2 installed on your machine, and you don't want to copy it to c:\novell\nds\embox\jre, you can create a batch file which contains the following information:

    set classpath=c:\novell\nds\embox\embox\emboxclient.jar

    \path_where_your_java.exe_is_installed\java.exe embox -g (This will start the graphical interface of eMbox)
