The architecture of Sentinel has been changed drastically.  We have
created new clients for Cold Fusion, PHP and .Net that use a pure web
service for all communication.  We are currently revising the Java,
Classic ASP and Apache Mod-Sentinel Clients to support this new
architecture along with several other new features (including single
sign on). 

We're working with Eric to see if we can resolve this.  We expect it's a
problem with the usage of sessions in this particular installation of
Sentinel.

Subject: Re: [MSUNAG] Sentinel under non-MS systems

We are running Sentinel under Apache/Tomcat on Debian.  Most of our
problems 
were related to getting the correct keys in the correct locations, but
it has 
been working relatively well for several years now.  We role our own
apache 
and tomcat though, instead of using the distribution installs because
Debian, 
though not as bad as red hat, likes to modify the configuration
(distributing 
install throughout the OS instead of keeping it separate which we
prefer).  
If you have the time and inclination I might suggest downloading
Apache/PHP 
and building your own to see if you can get that to work, and then try 
diffing the configurations with the red hat install to see if you can
isolate 
any offending configurations etc.  At least then you can determine if it
is a 
Red Hat specific issue.

Are you getting errors in your logs?  If I understand Sentinel
correctly, what 
happens (at least from a tomcat point of view) is that upon redirect to
your 
server after user authentication, the token is passed to your server
which 
would then make an rpc call to the sentinel service to retrieve the 
credentials using the provided token.  If you have a firewall setup, it
could 
be blocking the rpc calls, though i would expect that to appear in an
error 
log somewhere.  I would suppose that it is also possible that the
Sentinel 
client is being sandboxed, or prohibited from establishing an outbound 
connection to the Sentinel service.  I haven't used PHP for this
however, so 
I don't know how it may differ.

Chris.
