Issue/Introduction

Following the successful creation and deployment of a new application using Connector Xpress 2.0, an error occurs when attempting to create a new DYN (REST) endpoint. This issue is reproducible via both the Identity Manager GUI and the Provisioning Manager.

 

The following error is captured in the jcs_daily.log:

(com.ca.jcs.core:com.ca.jcs.osgi.exchange.router.MessageRouter:551) ERROR  - A remote server returned an error: org.apache.directory.shared.ldap.exception.LdapConfigurationException: JCS@IM144: internal error in ADD(): java.lang.NullPointerException: Name is null [Root exception is java.lang.NullPointerException: Name is null]

Environment

Release : 14.4 CP1

Component : Identity Manager

Cause

Connector version visible in IAM JCS UI (localhost:20080) - JCS UI was old (1.1.1.20210219).

Version should be  at least 20211111 (Since 14.4.1 was released in 2021 November).

Resolution

Solution: Clear JCS cache:

================

Stop JCS Service
Delete the following folders
   ..\Connector Server\Data\activemq
   ..\Connector Server\data\cache
   ..\Connector Server\data\derby
   ..\Connector Server\data\port
Start JCS Service

Make sure the version is current and try again.
