DPS6: Unable to retrieve a backend SEARCH connection to process the search
I have installed and configured DPS 6 but I cannot get it to proxy through to our back-end Sun DS 5.2 servers. The error message I get is:
Errorwhile reading entry [LDAP: error code 1 - Unable to retrieve a backend SEARCH connection to process the search request]
As I am not familiar with the DP server I maybe making a simple mistake and would appreciate any pointers.
Background:
I have installed the DPS 6 on both a Windows 2000 SP4 server and on a Windows XP SP2 computer from the Sun Java Identity Management Suite v5 package.
I installedDS Core Server,DS EE Command-line utilities, andDPS Core Server and I selected "Configure manually after installation".
On the Win XP computer the installation path was:
C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaES5
I ran the following commands to set-up and configure the server:
dpadm create -p 389 -P 636 C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaES5\ldap-proxy
dpadm enable-service --type WIN_SERVICE C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaES5\ldap-proxy
dpadm start C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaES5\ldap-proxy
dpconf create-ldap-data-source Sun1 directory1.example.com:636
dpconf create-ldap-data-source Sun2 directory2.example.com:636
dpconf list-ldap-data-sources
Sun1
Sun2
dpconf create-ldap-data-source-pool Sun_internal
dpconf attach-ldap-data-source Sun_internal Sun1 Sun2
dpconf list-attached-ldap-data-sources Sun_internal
Sun1
Sun2
dpconf create-ldap-data-view Customer_data_r/w Sun_internal ou=Customers,dc=example,dc=com
dpconf create-ldap-data-view Partner_data_r/w Sun_internal ou=Partners,dc=example,dc=com
dpconf create-ldap-data-view Staff_data_r/w Sun_internal ou=Staff,dc=example,dc=com
dpconf set-ldap-data-source-prop Sun1 is-enabled:true
dpconf set-ldap-data-source-prop Sun2 is-enabled:true
dpconf set-attached-ldap-data-source-prop Sun_internal Sun1 search-weight:100
dpconf set-attached-ldap-data-source-prop Sun_internal Sun2 search-weight:200
dpadm restart C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaES5\ldap-proxy
I have now been scratching my head over this for several days, and I have installed and re-installed the server several times on the different computers. I have also had a problem registering the DPS with a remote DSCC; checking the cacaoadm I see:
cacaoadm status
default instance is ENABLED at system startup.
default instance is not running.
cacaoadm start
cacaoadm status
default instance is ENABLED at system startup.
Current retries count : 1/4
Processes:

Cannot connect to agent: Unsupported protocol: jmxmp
cacaoadm verify-configuration
CONFIG ERROR: Java Dynamic Management Kit home is not valid, Cannot locate [lib] inside [C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1].
Any help that can be given will be greatly appreciated;thanks
