Has anyone run into an issue where you receive a login incorrect from nmc after you've been logged in and have been using it? It almost appears that there is some sort of timeout that occurs and from that point forward, I receive a login incorrect from any and all nmc windows I have opened. The only way around it is to close nmc on my desktop and restart it. I can't tell you how annoying this is (multiple times per day). My desktop is windows 7 and has 13 different versions of jre's installed on it (some type of company wide distribution of jre's). I believe this is java related, as I also have a linux desktop where this doesn't occur.
Any ideas on how to fix this? (other than using my linux desktop :-) )
Our corporate DNS server wasn't deleting A records for my laptop (and others as well). If you did an nslookup of the IP address, multiple A records would appear (in my case about 20). For my laptop, a different hostname would appear every time you entered an nslookup of the IP. I had the duplicate records deleted and I've gone almost three hours without experiencing the login incorrect error.
My theory is that somewhere along the line.... nmc must validate the hostname of its clients via DNS. When a different hostname is returned from the one that originally logged in it produces the error. I could be way off base on this.... but, that's what it appears to me.
Why this is happening is another story and I'll leave that to our DNS group. I did google the issue and found that someone else issues with Win7/DHCP and duplicate A records......
I'll post again when I'm sure that the problem is resolved.
You can try deleting the cache from Java control panel, Go to start and search for java control panel, From the Temporary Internet files option go to Setting and delete temp files. Hope this should help
I've tried deleting the java cache and it didn't help.
Our corporate desktop image contains 13 different installations of jre (1.4 thru 1.7). Java 7 is loaded when I launch NMC. Is there anyway to direct NMC to use a different version of jre? I'd like to see if I can narrow down this issue to a particular version of java.
If reinstalling Java does not help, please check whether GST service is still running when the NMC connection drops. If so, you may check detailed error in C:\Program Files\Legato\Management\GST\logs\gstd.raw.
We faced this type of issue the only workaround is to install Java 6 update 26. If you have multiple JRE versions then from control panel (windows 7 and XP) select JAVA settings --> java tab --> click on view and enable only platform 1.6 product 1.6.0_26 and try it. other way is to upgrade to next version.
