Troubleshooting AREA Hub plug-in issues
AR System plug-in server supports only one AREA plug-in directly. You can, however, add a single AREA Hub plug-in to the plug-in server and then add multiple AREA plug-ins to the AREA Hub plug-in. Plug-ins that are added to the AREA Hub are referred to as Hub plug-ins. The AREA Hub transmits the calls it receives from the Hub plug-ins to the plug-in server.
Plug-in type
AREA Hub is a C-based AREA plug-in.
AR System server connectivity
AR System server interacts with the AREA Hub plug-in when an event occurs on the LDAP Configuration form.
The AREA Hub plug-in is installed in the following location:
- (Microsoft Windows) <ARInstallationFolder>\arealdap\areahub.dll
- (UNIX) <ARInstallationFolder>/arealdap/areahub.so
Configuration information
The AREA Hub plug-in is configured in the AR System Administration: AR System Configuration Generic UI form.
You do not need to configure the AREA Hub manually to use multiple AREA LDAP plug-ins.
To troubleshoot AREA LDAP plug-in issues
- Verify the AREA Hub plug-in configuration.
- On the server, verify that the plug-in resides in the directory listed and that permissions are consistent with the user who executed arserver.exe (arserverd). This information is important if you perform installation as a non-root user.
- Restart AR System server. For more information about restarting the plug-in server without restarting AR System server, see Restarting-the-plug-in-server.
- If you need to investigate the issue further, you should enable server-side logs and plug-in logs.
For instructions, see Setting-log-files-options.
