Documentum Administrator in docker writes the dm_bof_registry password in blank

CN23

Hello good morning

I am trying to create a documentum administrator container in docker 20.x in a lab environment however, for some reason, when I create the container I get an authentication error in dm_bof_registry ([DM_SESSION_E_AUTH_FAIL]error: “Authentication failed for user dm_bof_registry with docbase laboratorio.)
I have already checked the credentials in the CS and they work correctly, if I check the docker log it looks like I am not entering the password parameter in the dfc.properties file (hide the IP in this message for security):

if I access the container and check the dfc.properties the password appears blank, also I have tried the encrypted password generated by the container itself for presets and preferences and it does not work in the CS that password.

why is it not working?

This is my variable (the IP and password have been hidden for security): DFC_PROPERTIES=dfc.data.dir=/opt/tomcat/data::dfc.tokenstorage.dir=/opt/tomcat/token::dfc.tokenstorage.enable=false::dfc.docbroker.host[0]=<IP>::dfc.docbroker.port[0]=1689::dfc.globalregistry. repository=laboratory::dfc.globalregistry.username=dm_bof_registry::dfc.globalregistry.password=<passwd without encrypt>::dfc.session.allow_trusted_login=false::dfc.security.ssl.use_anonymous_cipher=true

If I change the password inside the container to the one generated by the CS and restart tomcat it works correctly, however, every time I restart the container it disappears again and stops working.

Note: i have tested the docbroker port 1489 and with the encrypted password of dm_bof_registry and have the same problem.

I'm using Docker 20.10.24, Docker Compose version v2.17.3, DCTM Server and DA 23.4 in a RHEL 9.4

Thank you very much in advance,
Best regards.

Hello,
I have enabled authentication tracing and I can see the following error message when DA container connects with dm_bof_registry to CS container:

Error verifying host and client signature: Client rights object not found in docbase for client id

But I don't understand why this happens, if I'm not mistaken, you can only configure privileged clients in DA, but this is the DA trying to connect to DCTM, however, I would like to know how to make the CS can trust with the DA container when this is started with the docker-compose, both are in the same docker network of bridge type.

Thank you,
Best regards
