Error description

  • When trying to use CA Certificate(s) for LDAP Authentication
    to login into the IBM Wave GUI, a copy of the CA
    Certificate(s) has to be stored within the WAVESRV in order for
    the WAVESRV to be able to use those certificate(s).
    In order to use the CA Certificate(s) one would have to specify
    the path to the CA Certificate(s) in the Manage Parameters - >
    Login tab panel.
    If the CA Certificate(s) are located outside of the WAVESRV and
    one tries to login using LDAP credentials, the login panel
    will freeze, without giving you an appropriate message.
    

Local fix

  • The work around is to store a copy of the CA Certificate(s) on
    the WAVESRV and update the path in the Manage Parameters ->
    Login panel to point to the new location.
    

Problem summary

  • CA Certificate needs to be located on the Wave Server.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Wave Administrative guide updated to state that the CA
    Certificate needs to be located within the Wave Server for the
    use of the TLS connection.
    

Temporary fix
