NullPointerException processing POST request for com.ibm.team.repository.service.internal.IServerStatusRestService.postStatusForServices()


Configuration:
Redhat rehl 4 with the latest patches installed.
WsAS 6.1.0.15
DB2 Express v9.1.0.4
Jazz 1.0M6a


I have just installed Jazz 1.0M6a and am not able to log on to jazz/admin. When you click on the login link it just refreshes the page and posts the following in the App Servers SystemOut.log

I have tried the following;
1. Completely deleting the WsAS 6.1 profile, dropping and recreating the Jazz tables. Once the jazz.war was installed and started I attempted to use the/jazz/setup link to complete the configuration and that just results in the GUEST user does not have authority and the jazz/admin login results in the same issues as indicated above.

2. I then attempted to configure bluepages authorization. This results in the same issues.

3. I can sign on from the Jazz client with ADMIN/ADMIN and configure the server and add users however I Am unable to authenticate with new users. I can connect to the project with ADMIN/ADMIN. The user has been added to JazzAdmins in the WsAS console.

The only way I was able to get this to work was to set the following parameters in the teamserver.properties
# indicates whether to allow guest access or not. If false, users must login through a secure
# https channel and also must exist as contributors in the repository.
com.ibm.team.repository.ws.allow.guest.access = true


# indicates whether to allow admin access or not.
com.ibm.team.repository.ws.allow.admin.access = true
# performs real authentication and forwards requests with the special header.
com.ibm.team.repository.ws.allow.identity.assertion = true

4. I have went through all of the defects and forums and have added the following to the teamserver.properties

LDAP
com.ibm.team.repository.ldap.findUsersByUserIdQuery=mail\=?1
com.ibm.team.repository.ldap.baseGroupDN=ou\=memberlist,ou\=ibmgroups,o\=ibm.com
com.ibm.team.repository.ldap.findGroupsForUserQuery=uniquemember\={USER-DN}
com.ibm.team.repository.ldap.membersOfGroup=uniquemember
com.ibm.team.repository.ldap.userAttributesMapping=userId\=mail,name\=cn,emailAddress\=mail
com.ibm.team.repository.ldap.registryLocation=ldap\://bluepages.ibm.com\:636
com.ibm.team.repository.ldap.groupMapping=JazzAdmins\=WAS_JazzAdmins,JazzUsers\=WAS_JazzUsers,JazzDWAdmins\=WAS_JazzDWAdmins,JazzGuests\=WAS_JazzGuests
com.ibm.team.repository.ldap.baseUserDN=ou\=bluepages,o\=ibm.com

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
