Troubleshooting

Sentinel LDK-EMS is successfully installed in the Web server, but I cannot login through a browser.

How can I configure the JVM memory if users get errors due to insufficient memory.

Users may get many types of error messages in Sentinel LDK-EMS when JVM runs out of memory. For details and assistance with solving these issues, see Configuring JVM Memory.

During Sentinel LDK-EMS installation, when I try to change the Host Configuration to SSL (HTTPS), a security warning appears. What is the significance of this warning and does the user need to perform any action?

Some Internet browsers such as Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome have restricted Java invocation. To provide a seamless experience to end users, Sentinel LDK-EMS interacts with another LDK module which does not run on the HTTPS server. This results in a security warning being displayed to users each time they try to activate a license using the Customer Portal (or Activation Portal). To overcome this, users need to click the icon on the web browser to confirm that they are willing to run an unsafe script. On confirming this security exception, the system allows them to continue activating the license. No other action is needed from the user.

>Unlike HTTP, the SSL option(HTTPS) has the following advantages:

>Secure transmission of information over the internet.

>Use of SSL Certificates to encrypt information exchanged between a website and its visitors.

>Providing data integrity and authentication by enforcing access control.

>Preventing third-party software from tracking user activity on the website.

Sentinel LDK-EMS stops working when Java is upgraded automatically. How can we now restart Sentinel LDK-EMS?

For Sentinel LDK-EMS to work properly with an upgraded Java, you need to ensure that the environment variable JRE_HOME is pointing to the correct Java RTE. If you are running a 32-bit setup (Windows OS and Tomcat server), the environment variable must point to a 32-bit JRE. If you are running a 64-bit setup (Windows OS and Tomcat server), the environment variable must point to a 64-bit JRE.

Customer is using Microsoft Office 365 and has changed the SMTP password in Microsoft Outlook. Following this, entitlement-related emails are not getting delivered. How can this be corrected?

To start receiving entitlement-related emails once again:

1.Stop the Sentinel LDK-EMS service.

2.Navigate to %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Thales\Sentinel LDK-EMS\EMSServer\work\Catalina\localhost\

3.Delete the Tomcat folder/cache at this location.

4.Start the Sentinel LDK-EMS service.

When I click the Sync Data For Channel Partner Module button, a message is displayed. What does this mean and what are installer logs?

For customers who purchased the Channel Partner Module license and plan to upgrade from Sentinel LDK 7.7 or earlier, a single customer can be linked only with a single channel partner to create an entitlement. In the past, there may have been some cases where the same customer was linked to multiple channel partners. Therefore, it has been decided that only a single entitlement will be allowed and preference will be given to 'Draft' state entitlements.

To implement this, a database script has been created to identify all entitlements where a customer and channel partner are available. When this script is triggered, it automatically creates customer-channel linkage using historical entitlement data. Products used in these entitlements are also linked with their respective channel partners.

This script is triggered in the following scenarios:

>During the Upgrade installation from Sentinel LDK 7.7 and earlier: Regardless of the availability of Channel Partner Module license in the key, customer-channel linkage is created for entitlements.

The installer logs are updated to reflect entitlements where customer-channel linkage could not be created (because the customer is already linked to another channel). For such entitlements, the ISV has to manually disassociate the customer from the entitlement ('Draft' and 'Queued' state only) and ask the channel partner to create a new customer using a different email address.

>Sync Data For Channel Partner Module: When this button is clicked, scanning of the database is triggered and customer-channel linkage is created for entitlements.

Admin Console logs are updated to reflect customer-channel links that could not be created because the customer was already linked with another channel partner. For such entitlements, the ISV has to manually disassociate the customer from the entitlement ('Draft' and 'Queued' state only) and ask the channel partner to create a new customer using a different email address.

When the Sync Data For Channel Partner Module button is clicked, a message is displayed on the page. The first part of this message confirms that customer-channel linkage is successfully established for some entitlements. The second part informs that Admin Console logs are updated to reflect entitlements where customer-channel linkage could not be established because the customer was already linked to another channel partner.
