NotesException: "Could not open Notes session"

Hi,

I’ve read other posts on this but have not been able to solve this one.

I’m trying to do the very basic thing of creating a remote DIIOP Session from a Java stand alone program.

My set up:

Domino Server running on my development machine

  • DIIOP running on default port

  • Anonymous and Name/Password connections to DIIOP allowed

  • Permission to run restricted/unrestricted programs (Java/JavaScript/COM etc) given to “Admin” user.

  • I verified that this user can log in over the web

Simple Java client on the same machine.

  • NCSO.jar (from R6) is on the class path

  • I attempt a remote connection this way:

Session notesSession = NotesFactory.createSession(“111.22.33.44”,“Admin”,“pwd”);

Result:

Domino Server reports:

DIIOP Server: 111.22.33.44 connected

DIIOP Server: 111.22.33.44 disconnected

Java client reports:

NotesException: Could not open Notes session: org.omg.CORBA.COMM_FAILURE: minor code: 6 completed: No

    at lotus.domino.cso.Session.initSession(Session.java:976)

    at lotus.domino.cso.Session.<init>(Session.java:77)

    at lotus.domino.cso.Session.createSession(Session.java:41)

    at lotus.domino.NotesFactory.createSession(NotesFactory.java:153)

    at lotus.domino.NotesFactory.createSession(NotesFactory.java:116)

Some Notes:

  • I get the same error whether or not I use a valid username/password and

  • I get the same error if I attempt an anonymous connection: (createSession(“111.22.33.44”,“”,“”):wink:

  • I get the same error if I attempt to connect to another Domino server.

  • I can make local connection no problem

Thanks for any help!

Permission to run restricted/unrestricted programs (Java/JavaScript/COM etc) given to “Admin” user.

Is this the only place where you specified permissions? Java/JavaScript/COM is no longer used in 6.0, it is only used for backwards compatability. Use the programability section for specifying restrictions. You will find more details in on-line help or the article that goes over security changes for ND6 “Decoding agents in ND6” - direct link is Agent FAQ under #0 or you can also find it in article archive.

Thanks Julie,

Actually in the name of overkill I have the Admin user given access to do everything in programability section!

Terrence -

Make sure the fully qualified host name of the server you’re connecting to resolves to an ip address by way of a hosts file entry or a DNS entry. It needs to be the same as the field labeled “Fully qualified Internet host name:” on the “Basics” tab of the server document. This has never made a whole lot of sense to me, but it’s the only way I’ve ever been able to get remote connections to work.

Thanks Dallas, though I’m afraid it didn’t resolve my issue.

Subject: one small detail I left out . . .

You’ll need to restart the server or at least the task. If it still doesn’t work, try changing the log level on DIIOP – maybe that’ll point you to the problem – sounds fairly low-level though.dgg
