Is there anything in the server log? Can you supply some details about
your environment and the versions of the client and server you are
using?<br>
<br>
Also, you&#39;re using the a deprecated API - realms have been removed from
the spec.<br>
<br>
I&#39;m posting this to the Rabbit list - this is the most appropriate
place to get help from the community.<br>
