Hi All,

Do many people out in *SM-land make use of the Secure Web Admin Proxy
(SWAP) for TSM?

For those who do, have you too come across the same problem when upgrading
a TSM server to 4.x that the graphics on the web browser now no longer
appear when using the SWAP which shipped with TSM 3.7?

In an attempt to thwart this, I installed the new version of SWAP which
shipped with the TSM 4.2 set - upon installing this I see that there are
specific options for which verisons of TSM servers you are likely to be
administering - probably something to do with enhanced functionality (and
thus extra icons and graphics required in the Web Admin Client) in later
versions of the server.

However, inspite of a seemingly smooth install, I can now no longer log on
to *anything* *anywhere*... I am presented with an 'Invalid Login - The
userid or password that was specified is not valid'. Looking on the TSM
server I see an 'ANR0459W Signon for administrator DAVIDS refused - invalid
administrator name and/or password submitted.'. Two things struck me as
'odd' at this point - 1. my login is correct as I use this very same login
from other admin clients to the same server without problems, and 2. This
isn't a 'normal' 'session xx for adminstrator yy refused - invalid password
submitted' refused access error.

I have also checked that the 'proxy' administrator is set up and functional
too.

Any ideas? Has anyone got the TSM SWAP working with 4.x (4.1.3 and 4.2 in
our case) servers?

Thanks,

David McClelland
