I can't get to the admin console. Users can't log in to the applications. Some of the services don't start - with no explanation or diagnostic output. They may well be the best products in the world, but if a highly experienced admin following the instructions precisely can't get them to work at all - after multiple attempts - then there is something seriously wrong.<BR/><BR/>It's not the installer. I can get the products installed (even though I don't like how it does it); they just don't do anything useful.

I can't access the access manager console, and the test user can't log in. Some of these were working in isolation at some point in the process.<BR/><BR/>I've spent half a day and have absolutely nothing functional to show for it. Is JES ever going to be widely used? I think not.Peter Tribblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09363446984245451854noreply@blogger.com
