"Create Session failed"

If you receive a "Create Session failed" error message and find a "SystemException: NO_PERMISSION" exception in the Jaguar.log, first read Cause A and Solution A which should rectify the problem; if not, please go to Cause B and Solution B.

Cause A: The error may occur if the OS authentication setting in EAServer is incorrect.

Solution A: Follow the steps below to fix the problem.

Step 1: Run EAServer and start EAServer Manager.

Step 2: Go to the Properties for the server in EAServer Manager.

Step 3: Set the property "com.sybase.jaguar.server.authservice" to false.

Step 4: Restart EAServer.

We suggest either keeping the property authentication disabled or correcting the OS authentication setting (referring to Getting Started in EAServer System Administration Guide).

Cause B: The error is caused by either an Internet Explorer/Client configuration problem or an Appeon Server configuration problem.

Solution B: Verify you are using a minimum of Internet Explorer 8.0. Upgrade to the latest version if necessary.

  • Internet Explorer/Client configuration

    The possible causes and solutions are listed in the following table. The most common cause for the Internet Explorer/Client configuration issue is item #1.

    Table 2. Internet Explorer configuration

    No.

    Possible Causes

    Solutions

    1

    Internet Explorer security level is set too high.

    Go to Internet Options > Security in Internet Explorer, change the security level to the medium default-level for the Internet or Local intranet zone or Trusted Site, depending on where the Appeon Web application is deployed.

    2

    Advanced Internet Options setting incompatibility.

    Go to Internet Options > Advanced in Internet Explorer, and click the Restore Defaults button to restore the default settings for the Advanced options.

    Note: Selecting Default Settings will remove the check from "Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections". This setting is required when the application is accessed through a proxy server.

    3

    Some Client-side software, such as anti-virus software or a personal firewall, is preventing the required Web files from downloading.

    Disable suspected software and try again.
