CA Network Flow Analysis (NetQos / NFA)

Issue/Introduction

After a fresh install of NFA 9.1, the web GUI will not load at all.

Taking a look at the services everything is Started correctly except the following: "CA Performance Center SSO", "CA NFA RibSource", "CA NFA DNS/SNMP Proxies", and the "CA NFA Collection and Poller Webservices" services.

Within the directory \CA\NFA\Portal\SSO\ the 'Logs' folder is missing.

You can create the Logs folder in this directory and try to start the service again to generate a log file. In the wrapper.log you will see the error below:

Cause:

This is caused by the "UTN-USERFirst-Object Certificate" certificate not being installed into the "Trusted Root Certificate Authorities" which is needed by the Tanuki wrapper used by NFA for some services.

For more details see the link below. This usually occurs when the Local Security policy is too tight to allow the certificate to be installed properly.

  2. Type 'mmc' into Start->Run 

  3. Navigate to File -> Add/Remove Snap-in...



  4. Highlight 'Certificates' from 'Available snap-ins' and hit Add.

  5. Select 'Computer account', Next, and then Finish


    Expand 'Certificates (Local Computer)', then expand 'Trusted Root Certification Authorities'



    • Check for the "UTN-USERFirst-Object" certificate in this folder, if not there proceed to step 7 to import the certificate



  6. Right click on 'Certificates' -> All Tasks -> Import

  7. Browse to the certificate that you downloaded in Step 1 and accept all the default settings all the way through.

  8. Once you have successfully added the missing certificate, start the stopped services "CA Performance Center SSO", "CA NFA RibSource", "CA NFA DNS/SNMP Proxies" , and the "CA NFA Collection and Poller Webservices"

  9. Verify that you should now be able to access the NFA web page.
