psconsole not working properly
Hi,
I've just installed Portal7 on our JES2005Q4 (Solaris10 sparc) and everything but psconsole seems to be working nice.
Im able to login as amadmin into psconsole and use some of its features - like managing Channels and containers.
However clicking on some other tabs (SSO Adapter, Portals->myPortal) results in that my browser cant load requested page. I could not trace any errors in logs, but I'm suspecting JavaFaces to be the problem as the last reference from psconsole points to /psconsole/faces/...
Anyone have an idea? i'd appreciate any useful help

I suspect that myPortal is not defined or configured properly. Faces is the pacakge to generate the formatted HTML output. myPortal
Check the web constiner for the deployment of myPortal
Eample for a Sun Web server with admin server already running on default port
http://localhost:8888/
login
select server host and click "Manage"
select the "Virtual Server Class" tab
select the "htts-<your-server>" hyper link
select the "Web applications" tab
do you see the /myPortal URI ?

Problem: unable to login into /psconsole
Symptom: amadmin login failures.
Notes:
amadmin successfully logs into /amconsole
It appears that the manual execution of psconfig generated a lengthy and random amadmin password that was stored in the amadmin directoy server entry and a portal server configuration file (which one?) . I reset these two values to the value defined during the PS7 installer session.
Suggestions?

psadmin version -v -u amAdmin -f <pfile> fails
psadmin version -v -u amadmin -f <pfile> fails
psadmin version -v -u admin -f <pfile> fails
Authentication failed: Invalid user ID and password. Try again.
How does one open the hood to troubleshoot this engine?

Rock-n-Roll,
thanks for your post, but in fact it doesnt help much. Like I said everything (including myPortal) except psconsole works fine. Portal container is deployed correctly. Besides psconsole should work without Portal container running, because it mainly (only?) changes values in Directory server.
To your questions. I dont think psconfig can change your amadmin password. What you call lengthy and random password is probably only the crypted form of password you see when searching your directory server.
The reason why you cant log in psconsole might be your cacao server not running, try this:
/opt/SUNWcacao/bin/cacaoadm start
psadmin version -v -u amAdmin -f <pfile> you say fails, are you sure your pfile contains valid amadmin password? Also pfile should only contains the string with password and nothing else. (NO property setting like AMADMIN_PASSWORD=mypassword etc...)
