Hi Arshad,
Welcome to Dogtag!!
The message "CA response: Authorization Error. Please also check
previous related panels" is an indication that there is a problem
between RA to CA communication.
There are two places to trouble shoot.
One is in the RA debug log, where, from the bottom of the log, you want
to look for string "NamePanel: response content=" and see what the
content value is. It should contain a non-zero return value from CA. A
zero response means success.
The other place is the CA debug log, where you might want to search for
key word "profileSubmit" starting from the bottom of the log, and then
scroll down slowly to find any error message relating to the
authentication error.
I believe the cookie has a timeout period, so if you waited too long in
the middle of the installation of the RA, you would get an
authentication error.
Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes.
