Dear Nina, Candido and all,

I did a further step by step analysis.

My perfsonarUI connects to redIRIS and though getting this
"HLPattern type not defined" error seems to work, since the client works
different when specifying legal or wrong (illegal) UID PWD combination.

When providing correct information, my the perfsonarUI client connects to my
sqlma server. The server the connects to the authentication service (AS).

With wireshark I can see that the SQLMA connect to the AS specifying a
security token with the "HTTP/XML POST /perfSONAR-AS/services/AuthService
HTTP/1.0" message.

The response from the AS is "HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found (text/html)".

The full response is:

====================================
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8

=======================================

This message implies that the Authentication service is not available,
though I did "Testing Your Deployment" as specified in the perfSONAR MDM 3.2
Administrator's Guide on pages 19-28.

So my question is: Why does the AS tell my SQLMA that there is no
authentication service available, though he gives back to my perfsonarUI
client by using the "playground page" correct information?

Any help is very appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance

Ralph
