Re: [Ejbca-develop] EJBCA on Solaris

[Tomas G. <to...@pr...>]

The problem in Solaris is most likely due to differences in shell 
interpretation between bash and Solaris-sh.
The problem is that the DN argument needs to hande spaces in it, which 
is why there is the line 'IFS=' in the Linux script.
There was a similar issue for FreeBSD, but I can't remember the solution.
The issue in question is that the shell splits the dn argument 
(containing spaces) so the next script thinks it is several argument 
instead of one, so the input to the next script is invalid.

I don't have a solaris box, so I can only give this hint...
