Hiya,

I'm pleased to report that I have Solaris 11 11/11 and SRS 5.2 (not 5.2.3) 
"just about" working together; however, an issue arises which looks like the 
old (and longstanding) gdm login problem from OpenSolaris, and which is 
preventing me getting on and building a Sun Ray / Solaris 11 Trusted Extensions 
demo / test environment.

I first set up a static address on an interface, and then followed Bob 
Doolittle's notes at 
http://wiki.sun-rays.org/index.php/SRS_5.1_on_Solaris_11_Express , using utadm 
-A to specify the Sun Ray subnet; SUNWdhcs didn't add for reasons unknown ("not 
required on the system" being the error reported) and as I'm using a WAN 
configuration, svcadm disabling the DHCP server before running utinstall has 
most things working just fine, ignoring the awk error about dhcp from utadm and 
the fact that the web cfg system doesn't work at all (port 1660 doesn't 
redirect to 1661, and 1661 gives no response either). Still, I get a session 
which works for keyboard, mouse and display (I'd expect printing may have 
issues, I don't use USB, and I'm not in a position to test smartcards yet).

However, the login screen presented on a Sun Ray in this config is the old 
CDE-style one, and this is where I think the Trusted Extensions problem arises, 
since after entering my username and password, I don't get the expected session 
clearance builder window and the session sits at a blank screen for a minute or 
so before returning to the login screen.

So, has anyone had this combination working with the gdm login screen, or 
further info on getting Sol 11 / TX and SRS working together, please?

Cheers,

--
