Issue/Introduction

Description:

I am using Custom Java classes and when I use them with Policy Server as Authentication Scheme, I get the following error:

     [1396/1724][Tue Mar 30 2010 14:10:28][SmJVMSupport.cpp:392][ERROR]
     SmJVMSupport: Error creating JVM - JNI code: -6(JNI_EINVAL)

Solution:

At the first glance, you may have a problem with the JVM itself as complaining for an invalid argument.
In order to solve it, you may check these:

• JVMOptions.txt set :
  
  
  • server
  • Xms256M
  • Xmx256M

and check all the line ends that there is no unneeded carriage return, wrong character and so on.;

• copy bin/client/jvm.dll to bin/server/jvm.dll of your jre after making backup of these;
  
  
• If you use SiteMinder JDK, upgrade this package at the same level of your Policy Server;
  
  
• Check if the following environment variables are set :
  PATH
  JAVA_HOME
  NETE_JAVA_PATH
  NETE_JRE_ROOT
  NETE_JVM_OPTION_FILE
  
  
• Is that registry available in Windows registry (if it is on Windows obviously):
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > JavaSoft > Java Development Kit > version

Environment
