Hi all,

 

when I start SPDS 5. 2, I get the following error message:

SPDSSERV - Unable to initialize ACL subsystem


Anybody have any idea what might be causing this?

 

Regards,
Christoph

@cwl,

 

Most likely the error "Unable to initialize ACL subsystem" was thrown because SPDS was not able to find the password database files. In <SPDSHOME>\site\spdsserv.bat an option "-acldir" pointing to which folder? Are you sure .sppdw11 files exist there?

Hi Alexal, thank you.
This was exactly the problem that the ACLDIR option was not set correctly
