5.0 Known Issues

NetIQ Corporation strives to ensure our products provide quality solutions for your enterprise software needs. The following issues are currently being researched. If you need further assistance with any issue, please contact Technical Support.

5.1 Unable to Import Multiple Connectors at the Same Time

Issue: CloudAccess does not display an error message or prevent you from trying to import multiple connectors from a file at the same time. However, this operation is not supported and CloudAccess uploads only one of the connectors that you select. The connector that is imported is somewhat arbitrary and the Import/Update Connector Template window might show conflicting information about the uploaded connector. (Bug 1034699)

Workaround: To work around this issue, ensure that you import only one connector at a time.

5.2 After Changing Appliance from DHCP to Static IP, “Waiting for Services to Start” Message Appears Indefinitely

Issue: If you change the appliance from a DHCP-assigned IP address to a static IP address, after redirecting you to the new IP address the browser might display the “Waiting for services to start” message indefinitely. (Bug 1034982)

Workaround: If you encounter this issue, restart the VM.
