Authentication failed error while portal server console login
Hi All,
Today i download the Sun One Enterprise suite and installed in my laptop to evaluate the sun one portal system. I am facing some problems related to console login and it would be helpful if some one could throw some light on this ( though it being a big post :) ).
1. While installing it asked me for DNS name and i gave a DNS name though i would connect my laptop to other domain also. Here, since i have given a domain already, if i connect my laptop to some other domain and access the portal server console, it gave DNS error and i solved it by disabling my browser proxy. Now, i am able to see the console.
2. The actual issue is, even after giving correct user name/password, it throws
"Authentication failed. Try again, Go to Login" error.
Interesting part here is, after this error i am able to access the portal desktop by giving
http://<host>:81/portal/dt
I accessed the console just after installation. I have not done any configuration other than while installing.
I am getting following logs in the access.log file of Directory Server.
[05/Aug/2005:17:03:48 +051800] conn=40 op=-1 msgId=-1 - fd=1292 slot=1292 LDAP connection from 148.98.169.71 to 148.98.169.71

[05/Aug/2005:17:03:48 +051800] conn=40 op=1 msgId=395 - RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=0 etime=0
My questions are:
1. Why i am getting this error. Any configuration I need to do?
2. The user name/password i have given in the console was the one i have entered while installing the product. Any other user name i have to create?
3. By any chance, is this error related to DNS/Domain problem i have explained already?
4. Also, i need a step-by-step tutorial on how to setup a new desktop/configure new users right after installing the product. Is it available anywhere. I am not able to find anything.
It would help my evaluation if somebody help me in solving this issue.
Thanks
