Open Manage Network Manager – Release Notes

Users who have configured the web server to use SSL can run

$OWARE_USER_ROOT/oware/bin/updatetomcatcert

to generate a new cert

and update the keystore if the certificate has expired. All recent releases

include a certificate which does not expire for approximately 100 years. (SCR

• If you want to use the web client with a Linux server, you must use the pro-

cess monitor to start the application server, or otherwise ensure Xvfb is run-

ning prior to starting the appserver. For example, here are commands to start

Xvfb (run as root):

Linux:

/usr/bin/Xvfb :0 -dev vfb screen 0 1152x900x8 &

/usr/X11R6/bin/Xvfb :0 -screen 0 1152x900x8 &

• This application supports SNMPv3 with privacy using DES privacy encryption

only. (37796, 38959)

• To set the environment correctly for command line functions, after installa-

tion, type oware (or . /etc/.dsienv in Linux—[dot][space]/etc/[dot]dsienv)

before running the specified command. Also: This application can run on any

Linux desktop environment (CDE, KDE, Gnome, and so on) but the installer

will only install shortcuts for CDE. (36442)

• For Linux, you must install no more than a single instance of MySQL—the

one installed with this Element Management System. Before you install,

remove any MySQL if it exists on your Linux machine.

• Some device drivers do not support chassis view for the equipment they man-

age. An error appears when you try to access chassis view: Chassis view for this

device is currently not supported.

• Performance: This application cannot respond faster than the network per-

mits, but the complexity of devices is also important. For example, it can take

time to delete a device that has 4000 interfaces. Such a device can take up to

several minutes to delete, depending on your installation’s hardware.

• This application supports only syslog messaging over UDP, not syslog messag-

ing over TCP at this time (23592)

• When you change the SSH key, subsequent logins can fail if you select the

Regenerate key option and create a new key. This application caches the key

value in a file: <installdir>\oware3rd\cygwin\.ssh\known_host.

You must delete this file since the application looks there for the key. The

application then generates a new file with the new key. This applies to all

device drivers using SSH. (23802)

• A device login banner can not contain the same character(s) that are used

during the device login sequence. For example hashmarks (#) greater than

symbols (>) etc. (24992)

• Clicking on a port or turner refreshes the screen. To display the port edit

screen, you must select a port, and then click Open. (24222)

• This application does not support interface identifier numbers that are very

large. If the query “Fetching children, please wait” freezes it may be on
