R81.20 SmartEvent unable to connect to manager

[stallwoodj]

Hi,

Just built a brand new Network Policy Manager and a SmartEvent Correlation Unit / Reporter on two new open servers with R81.20 + Jumbo HFA 41. After SIC initialisation and database install, the SMEV threw up an error about being unable to connect to the manager on port 18184.

A SIC rest of the SMEV didn't help and I eventually tracked it down to this:

opsec_auth_client_connected: SIC Error for lea: Client could not choose an authentication method for service lea

As per sk64661, adding this line to the manager's fwopsec.conf:

lea_server auth_type sslca

Fixed the issue after cpstop/cpstart.

Thanks

Jamie

Had that same issue once in R81.20 lab and thats exactly what I had to do.

Cheers,
