As you can see it is only the "From:" header line that says "nav.hsh.no", the rest of the headers give the correct name for the server "nav3.hsh.no". Anyone know where this is happening? Some config I have missed? Or a small bug lurking somewhere? Or is it just a cosmetic thing since you are not supposed to answer such an email? Since I have called the NAV 2.1.5 server for nav.hsh.no it gave me a small moment of confusion... :-) - Roger -- Roger Aas Stord/Haugesund College

Nav version 3.0.0 "Toolbox -> Report -> Servers -> (Sort on) IP" gives me this error: Servers Configuration error! The report generator is not able to do such things.

Hello again. I finally made it work. UIOs ldap server doesn't accept uncrypted connections when authenticating a user/password. So after alot of testing it worked when openldap knew where to find the correct certificate. One problem occured though.

Using the subversion repository is not an option for me right now since I will only get the source there and will have to compile it, somethink I tried earlier with some beta version. There is just too much setup needed to get this to compile for me to have the time to make this work. So, I am instead hoping for the release version or maybe an RC3 version coming soon so I can start testing out the alert setup and the SMS alert system. Since I did not have the chance to attend the GigaCampus meeting in Trondheim this time I did not get any "inside information" to when to expect a new release of NAV. Anybody want to give me some hope? Regards, Roger -- Roger Aas Stord/Haugesund College

Thanks for the help, Kristian. Linking the files and restarting the tomcat server fixed. This step is missing in the InstallingOnSLES, so I went ahead and added it as follows: http://metanav.ntnu.no/moin.cgi/InstallingOnSLES#configuring-tomcat-and-the… Next, symlink the .jar files as well: cd /usr/share/tomcat/shared/lib ln -s /usr/local/nav/lib/java/*.jar .
