Reporter:	Patrick Branley	Email Updates:
Status:	Closed	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Workbench: Administration	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	6.x	OS:	Windows (Win 7 connecting to Sun solaris server)
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
I can configure mysql workbench to connect to my sun solaris server and I can get to the dashboard, but I cannot use any of the remote management functions. I get this error

'Could Not acquire management access for administration'

'exception: cat: cannot open /etc/fedora-release'

There is no option in workbench to select Sun Solaris as an option ??

How to repeat:
Create a connection to a sun solaris server

try to click on 'server logs' in the 'instance' section.

Same issue happens for any other management options

Hello Patrick Branley,

Thank you for the report.

Hello Patrick, 
in connection management on the system Profile tab you can select Linux and then pickup Custom where you'll be able to fill up all details by hand. 
Please let us know if this fixes your issue.
