Environment
Access Manager Analytics Appliance
Situation
Analytics install and configuration failed when admin password starts with a # sign.
When installing Access Manager Analtics server, a password was used that started with a #, such as "#novell".
When this was done the install/Configuration does not complete properly. After the configuration is done during the install, when prompted to remove cd and restart the server, continued to see:
"Waiting for Analytics Server to start. Do not reboot machine"
Resolution
Created a defect and awaiting feedback from engineering. For now, don't use a password that starts with a #
Additional Information
Was also able to see issue if in a working setup go to : /opt/novell/sentinel/setup/
and run "./configure.sh",
Choose "1" for Standard configuration,
then "2" to enter new password, where I used "#novell"
This is the error seen when doing this...
root@nam17:/opt/novell/sentinel/setup> ./configure.sh
