Could not connect to cacao from remote dscc

Hi!

I have installed Directory Server from the ZIP distribution on a Windows 2003 Advanced Server and have the problem that I cannot connect to it through dscc console installed on a linux server.

When I try to add a server I get the following error message:

Could not contact the dscc agent on IP. Use cacaoadm to check ...

Now, I already checked the following:

D:\SunDirectoryServer_6.0\dscc6\bin>dsccsetup.exe status

***

DSCC Application is not installed

***

DSCC Agent is registered in Cacao

Cacao uses a custom port number (11169)

***

DSCC Registry has been created

Path of DSCC registry is D:/SunDirectoryServer_6.0/var/dscc6/dcc/ads

Port of DSCC registry is 3998

***

D:\SunDirectoryServer_6.0\dsee6\cacao_2\bin>cacaoadm.bat status

default instance is DISABLED at system startup.

Current retries count : 0/4

Processes:

1224

Uptime: 0 day(s), 0:30

I already tried to restart everything to no avail. Any ideas what I could check or how I might be able to find out whats the problem?

Thx, Chris

Any idea how

I have had several problems getting DSCC and cacaoadm to work correctly. It's a pain, especially with systems that have multiple NIC's. I kept running into issues with routing, etc...

First, I would make sure that the Directory server (server A) can talk to the DSCC server (server B) on port 11162, and vice versa. Use "telnet serverA 11162" from server B and "telnet serverB 11162" from server A to track down issues with connectivity.

Then I would check that the hostnames/interfaces for all of the DS and DSCC instances all point to where you think they do. I am still fighting getting all of my DS, DPS, and DSCC instances to talk across a private network, with the Proxies being the only ones on the public network, and that has been a real chore.

Let us know how things turn out!
