Products

• CA Single Sign On Secure Proxy Server (SiteMinder)

Issue/Introduction

On startup of Secure Proxy Server (SPS), the error is written in nohup.out log file, such as:

Jul 24, 2015 3:36:52 PM org.apache.catalina.mbeans.GlobalResourcesLifecycleListener createMBeans

SEVERE: No global naming context defined for server

Environment

Release:
Component: SMSPS

OS: All (Windows/Solaris/Red Hat Linux)

Resolution

The GlobalResourcesLifecycleListener bean is for creating global references in the normal Tomcat server.xml that can then be referenced within webapp.

In the case of SPS proxy-engine deployment of Tomcat, it is a cut-down deployment of Tomcat, and does not use server.xml file.

Therefore, the error message can be ignored.
