FYI - it seems the user tool when configuring the ARDBC BaseDn parm to the config file is incorrect :)
This was causing LDAP Timeouts in admin tool... So, HEADS UP if you use LDAP and V7 Thanks-n-advance; HDT Platform Incident / Problem Manager & Architect Robert Molenda IT OS PA Tel: +1 408 503 2701 Fax: +1 408 503 2912 Mobile: +1 408 472 8097 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quality begins with your actions. -----Original Message----- From: BMC Customer Support [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 09, 2007 7:54 AM To: Molenda Robert (IFNA IT OS LO) Subject: Re: (ISS0306xxxx, 1-Critical) SupID:xxxxx Robert, we just logged a defect and I see it here in your ar.cfg file. The ARDBC-LDAP-Configuration form writes the ARBDC-LDAP-Base-Dn: o=infineon line wrong. Note that it should be: ARDBC-LDAP-Base-Dn: o=infineon It is worth while modifying this and setting it to a BaseDN that narrows the scope of the discovery. Make sure each time you touch this that it is spelled correctly since the config form with mis-spell it Also, does your ar.cfg file have the parameter, Server-Plugin-Default-Timeout: ? If not, please ass this to your ar.cfg file: Server-Plugin-Default-Timeout: 300 You will have to restart the arserver at some point to make use of this. This is the amount of time that arserver will waiti for a plugin to respond. The default is 60 seconds. I cannot really tell from the log if this is part of the problem. But worth a shot. Let me know if either of these things helps.
