Description:

Partitions have a default security profile of "disabled". When I switch them to "default" because I need security, the JNDI browser in the console gets the following exception when I try to browse the JNDI name space.

error type: org.omg.CORBA.INV_OBJREF

Answer/Solution:

The solution is to

1. Enable SSL on the partition

Change partition"s security profile from "default" to "ssl_enabled". This is required because the JNDI browser need to connect to a secured naming service. The difference between default and ssl_enabled profiles is that the former enables security but not SSL and the later enable both security and SSL.

2. Configure JNDI Browser for security identity.

In JNDI Browser, under CosNaming Factory, right-click on "Visibroker [default:xxxxx]" and select configure. In CosNaming Provider Properties

a. Check "Set an identity for security checks"

b. Provide user-name, password and realm (default values are admin, admin and ServerRealm).
