RE: Java EIM Lookup

["Gary L Peskin" <garyp@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bill --

1.  Can you please send the entire stack trace?
2.  Is your java program running on the iSeries or on another platform?
3.  What statement in your program are you getting the exception on?
4.  Can you please share the portion of your program where you're getting
the exception?
5.  Can you please include the output from your sun.security.krb5.debug log?

I'm just trying to understand the context for this exception.  It sounds to
me offhand like the EIM is not able to find its EIM domain controller or
that domain controller has not been properly set up but that's just a guess
until I can find out more about what's going on.

Thanks,
Gary
