Issue/Introduction

CA Directory Management UI upgrade fails when upgrade from 12.6 SP4 to 14.1.

The problem happened when the following parameter exists in knowledge\<HOSTNAME>-management-ui.dxc file before upgrade.

  link-flags = ssl-encryption

Installer adds the following parameter line into knowledge\<HOSTNAME>-management-ui.dxc file below the link-flags parameter.
  trust-flags = trust-conveyed-originator, allow-check-password

After upgrade, dxsyntax shows the following error and Management UI DSA won't start.

Error: Syntax Error: Line 1 in C:\Program Files\CA\Directory\dxserver\config\knowledge\<HOSTNAME>-management-ui.dxc near 'trust-flags'

Expected a '}'

** ALARM **: Error in initialization files

Re-ordering of link-flags and trust-flags parameter, i.e. putting trust-flags parameter right on top of link-flags parameter in the above <HOSTNAME>-management-ui.dxc file remedies the issue.

Environment

Release :14.1

Component : CA Directory

Cause

The order of link-flags and trust-flags parameter in the above <HOSTNAME>-management-ui.dxc file is invalid.

Resolution

Re-order the link-flags and trust-flags parameter so that trust-flags parameter is on top of link-flags parameter in the DXHOME\config\knowledge\<HOSTNAME>-management-ui.dxc file, save the file, start the DSA.
