[desktop-discuss] APOC? Does What....Sun Desktop Manager 09/07

[Gary Gendel]

Maybe you can enlighten me.  As far as I can tell APOC is a client/server method for setting/getting configuration parameters.  I keep getting errors like:

[ApocSource] Source apoc:readonly: is unavailable: Failed: [ApocPapi] Cannot initialise PAPI: PAPI Connection Failure.

Based on your experiences, how do I resolve this error? Do I need to set up an LDAP service with APOC to start PAPI?  How about laptop users?  Is this really necessary?

Thanks,
Gary
