I have also tracked down the following:

----- Access Manager SDK configuration causes web server startup failure errors
(6293225)

The problem of web server startup failures can be attributed to the Access
Manager's SDK configuration. In the current scenario, the AMConfig.properties
file contains the wrong information and causes a series a web server startup
failures. The following variables do not have the correct information:

com.iplanet.am.directory.host

com.iplanet.am.server.host

com.iplanet.am.console.host

com.iplanet.am.profile.host

com.iplanet.am.naming.url

com.iplanet.am.notification.url

Solution On your node B, where Access Manager SDK is installed with Web Server,
modify the <Web_Server_Instance_dir>/config/server.xml file and add the required
Access Manager JAR files to the classpath.

----- Q1):node B? Is this some tag in a XML file? Q2)<Web_Server_Instance_dir>/config/server.xml?

a) The only place I have a server.xml file is in folder: C:\Sun\SDK\updatecenter\registry\glassfish Does this confirms my suspicion that updatecenter caused my problems? b) I'd have thought [b]Web_Server_Instance_dir[/b] referred to
[b]C:\Sun\SDK\domains\domain1[/b] folder. But this is the list of files in that
folder? C:\Sun\SDK\domains\domain1\config>dir /b/s C:\Sun\SDK\domains\domain1\config\.domain-registry.system C:\Sun\SDK\domains\domain1\config\.upgradedTo91 C:\Sun\SDK\domains\domain1\config\admin-keyfile C:\Sun\SDK\domains\domain1\config\admsn C:\Sun\SDK\domains\domain1\config\cacerts.jks C:\Sun\SDK\domains\domain1\config\default-config C:\Sun\SDK\domains\domain1\config\default-web.xml C:\Sun\SDK\domains\domain1\config\derby.log C:\Sun\SDK\domains\domain1\config\domain-passwords C:\Sun\SDK\domains\domain1\config\domain-registry C:\Sun\SDK\domains\domain1\config\domain.xml C:\Sun\SDK\domains\domain1\config\keyfile C:\Sun\SDK\domains\domain1\config\keystore.jks C:\Sun\SDK\domains\domain1\config\login.conf C:\Sun\SDK\domains\domain1\config\secure.seed C:\Sun\SDK\domains\domain1\config\server.policy C:\Sun\SDK\domains\domain1\config\sun-acc.xml C:\Sun\SDK\domains\domain1\config\wss-server-config-1.0.xml C:\Sun\SDK\domains\domain1\config\wss-server-config-2.0.xml C:\Sun\SDK\domains\domain1\config\default-config\docroot C:\Sun\SDK\domains\domain1\config\default-config\lib C:\Sun\SDK\domains\domain1\config\default-config\lib\ext
