Hi Christian,

This might sound obvious (appologies if it is), but have you set the
subscriber config correctly on both instances
(/subscribers/SubscriberConfig in AdminCentral)? This has caught me
out a few times, especially as the 2 URLs in the config are formatted
differently (1 with protocol and 1 without).

My other thoughts are that I've sometimes seen issues with activation
from certain client configs, probably to do with IE versions. Never
found what the problem was, but closing all browser windows and
retrying a few times normally resolved it - no idea why though :-)

Hope that helps,

Simon

nope. The two instances in fact run on the same tomcat instance.
The problem is more related to user authentication.
As far as we understand the activation protocol everything is done inside the 
SimpleExchangeServlet (what a name :-)). So the Activating party sends a HTTP 
request to the SimpleExchangeServlet on the Activatee. THe request is handled 
by the doGet (we see the debug output).
But before it would be dispatched to the activate(HttpServletRequest) method, 
it fails due to Authenticator.authenticate returns false for the request.

According to some further investigation the setActivationHeaders apparaently does not set 
the "Authorization" credentials header on the Activator side, or the activatee 
fails to retrieve them. This is the case why the authenticate method exits prematurely

On the other side a "browser login" works out of the box, on both the 
activating/activatee adminCentral.

So we are a bit clueless, since it worked very well with our 2.1rc3 version. 
Maybe there is an issue with regard to Activation, which we have not defined (a 
flag in the config repository. the subscriber nodes are configured well).

btw: do you guys know a decent module for tcpdump to easily get the http 
headers and request details? What are you using to dump/intercept HTTP traffic?

thanks for the pointers
