I've been seeing this type of error more often with installs.

In the course of installing LSFCT.jar, all of the credentials are added, etc. and it's doing it's thing. Then I get this error in the install:

lawsonSecurity initialized
note: starting security server.
note: security server started.
note: importing sso credential set.
Fatal: [install-sec.pl] sso config failed
Activating Lawson Security, RM, and SSO failed.
Activating Lawson Security, RM, and SSO failed.
Errors Occurred During Installation
Click the "Log" button for details

Then in the install.log the error is saying:
..
..

@@ h2 note: security server started.
@@ h2 note: importing sso credential set.
Successfully delete temp file /law0/lsf9/gen/system/sso_pkga_temp.xml

Error: Fatal: [install-sec.pl] sso config failed

Error:

Any ideas why this is happening? This is AIX 6.1, I've already checked my Java, Tivoli (LDAP), and environment variables.

Thanks in advance,

Check your $LAWDIR/system/install.cfg file and make sure all the entries are correct. I just setup a DR and had dropped the .com from an entry in the installer. I went went back and corrected the entry, but the installer didn't update install.cfg file and used the old entry which resolved to an invalid IP.

The other thing I do is goto lid and run the command that the installer is running, you sometimes get a better error message then the installer gives.

perl /law9prod/gen/install/install-sec.pl

Fixing my install.cfg file didn't fix the security issue for me. I removed the core and started over (I left the install.cfg file in system) and everything installed.

I was able to resolve the issue. 

Confucius says: Make sure your Java is not corrupted.

(In my case, the installed version of Java was corrupted/bad and this caused problems with the install. So we used the Java that comes with Websphere instead, just for the install.)
