| Clarifying Information | |
| Error Message | |
| Defect/Enhancement Number | ORB-2125 |
| Cause | This is a known bug (ORB-2125) The child process spawned by a secure, background Orbix service can spin as it requests a secure password. |
| Resolution | Filed defect ORB-2125 Please contact Technical Support fro more information. |
| Workaround | This problem can be resolved by specifying the service's password, or password file, in the service's configuration. For example, add the following line to the service's configuration scope: principal_sponsor:auth_method_data="[filename=/vob/art/etc/tls/x509/certs/services/administrator.p12, password=administratorpass]" Alternatively, the above configuration can be passed to the service on start-up. For example, to pass this to the Orbix Notification Services, the start command should be modified as follows: itnotify.exe -ORBname <ORB Name> -ORBdomain_name <Domain Name> -ORBconfig_domains_dir <Domains Directory> run -background -ORBprincipal_sponsor:auth_method_data "[filename=<Certificate File>, password=<Password>]" |
