Cannot externalize security to shared services

After installing brand new essbase 11 and migrating applications from essbase 7, we have cannot externalize security.
Only some applications get created under essbase in shared services Application Group folder.
EAS console gets the following error (each time app name is different):

Issue externalizing the Essbase security to shared services

Guys,
I am facing an issue while externalizing the security to shared services in Hyperion Essbase 9.3.1. When i tried to externalize the users in Essbase 9.3.1, i am getting the error
"Error: 1051400: Analytic Services has already been migrated to Shared Services Mode". But i dont see any options when i right click on the security tab. i am seeing the same options
as we have before migrating to shared services like Externalize Users. Also when i tried to create a user in Essbase, it is giving the following error msg.
"Error: 1051484 Cannot change CSS Authenticated User to Another Authentication Type After successfully migrating that user to Shared Services". Errors are showing my security is in shared
services mode. How i can test if it is really in shared services security mode.
One other thing is, when we installed Essbase, we used 'admin', 'password' as user credentials. Does these have anything to do, as i saw in one thread that 'admin' is not recommended for Essbase while configuring shared services.
Thanks in advance
PM

Forget this thread. I am able to rectify the issue. We forgot to give access to temp folder of EAS Console.

EAS Console - Not getting the option "Refresh security from Shared Services"

Hi,
In EAS Console 11.1.2.2, I am not getting the option "Refresh security from Shared Services" when I right click on Security (under Essbase Servers).
However, I can see this option via EAS Console 11.1.1.3 (current existing version).
Could you please let me know how can I get this option in EAS Console 11.1.2.2? Is this by any chance related to the option "Externalize Users"?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot join for this information and your kind support .
One more question:
The owner of the Planning application is user 'hypadmin'.
I can see the SIDs of user 5001 a little different in both the versions. Is this ok?
Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.3 (Existing Environment)
USER_ID     SID ROLE SYNC_PSWD OFFLINE_ENABLED HUB_ROLES
50001          native://DN=cn=0fa19f8241602600:3b78a0e0:130926693d2:-78ba,ou=People,dc=css,dc=hyperion,dc=com?USER 3 2 0 5019

I have not yet performed "Externalize Users" yet in the new environment (11.1.2.2) throgh EAS Console. Is it required in the newer version 11.1.2.2?

Error from EAS - "refreshing security from Shared Services failed"

Hi,
I was using Native only security in HSS for Essbase 11.1.1.3 and EAS allowed me to Refresh security from Shared Services. (Essbase security was already externalized to HSS.)
However, after I added "MS Active Directory", and provisioned a MSAD user to a native Planning group, EAS errors out with "refreshing security from Shared Services failed" .
I checked Essbase security and that MSAD user is not added to Essbase.
From Essbase Log I see:
Essbase failed to get roles list for [ESB:Analytic Servers:servername:1] from Shared Services Server with Error [32:1062:Failed to connect to the user directory [ HSS'sMSADname].
I then tried to remove MSAD from our H Shared Services and see if this problem goes away. However, MSAD still shows on the left panel menu in H Shared Services. How can I get rid of MSAD?
Any suggestions?
Edited by: user643332 on May 12, 2010 12:05 AM

Hi,
Are you sure you have removed it from shared services, you may have just disabled it.
You must restart the shared services application server to apply any changes made.

Refresh security from Shared Services fails - System11

Hi All,
WHen refreshing the Essbase security from Shared Services in System 11 we get the following error:
Error 1051522: Essbase failed to get group's member tree with Error [CSS Error: Unknown error: Could not get exception message from exception object]
We see the same error in the Essbase log.
In the Shared Service Security CLient.log we get the following warnings:
2009-03-03 16:12:58,294 WARN [Thread-108] CSS dll either not found in java.library.path or can't be loaded[Root Cause: D:\Hyperion\common\CSS\9.5.0.0\bin\css-9_5_0.dll: Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform ] com.hyperion.css.spi.impl.ntlm.NTLMTrustedDomain.<clinit>(Unknown Source)

Has anyone come across this?
Thanks for your help.
Seb

Hi Seb,
I take it you are using NTLM as your external authentication.
The error message means that it can't see css-9_5_0.dll in the path, if you are on windows make sure the path contains <drive>:\Hyperion\common\CSS\9.5.0.0\bin\
If it doesn't update the environment variables, not sure if you need to reboot it may pick it up straight away, you can check by going to a command prompt and running echo %path%
Cheers

Error migrating Security from Shared Services.

Hi,
I was using Hyperion Planning 9.3.1's in Import/ Export utility in D:\Hyperion\common\utilities\CSSImportExportUtility\cssimportexport\importexport\CSSExport.bat. I'm trying to export Security from Shared Services into xml format. I get the following error message:
Malformed \uxxxx encoding
Anyone with similar experiences? Hyperion's impexp.pdf makes the steps so complicated!!

Answering my own question:
Since I am in Windows, I was using backslashes in my paths when I updated file:
importexport.properties
The error went away after I changed the backslashes to forward slashes in all paths.

Essbase External Security via Shared Services

I have hit a problem with essbase external security via shared services, might be fairly trivial, first time doing this.
In the install guide for essbase 9.3.1 it mentions not to use the user 'admin' when firing up essbase server console mode for the first time if you intend to externalise security to shared services in the future.
I have followed this recommendation and used a different username 'essadmin' for the first time essbase server is started up. While still in native security mode, I sign in via EAS 9.3.1 and create myself another admin account just in case.
I cold backup shared services SQL repository and OpenLDAP repositry before externalising essbase security. Also I backup the essbase sec and cfg files just in case.
Then I start it all up, go into EAS and select to externalise security, this takes a few seconds, and all seems well.
Now in shared services I can see the essadmin user ID and everything appears to be OK. However when I look under the projects node, I see "Analytic Servers:myhost:1", then below that another green icon "Analytic Servers:myhost:1", but when I click on the second green icon I get "Login fails due to invalid login credentials".
What have I done wrong ?

Hi,
I don't think you've done anything wrong. You just need to provision your shared services user with access to Essbase. Right-click on your user, select provision and then give them the required Essbase rights.
Hope that helps,
Gee

Essbase EAS - Refresh Security from Shared Services

Hi All,
Just went live with Essbase. We are using MSAD Groups in Shared Services for our users. I noticed that if we add a new user to a provisioned group, they don't automatically get access to Essbase. I believe I have to select 'Refresh Security From Shared Services' in EAS. I am nervous about doing this with users in the system as I don't want to accidentally boot them out. Is there any risk? Reports stopped? Users forced to logout? Smartview implications?
I feel like I did it before and disrupted some users during development but I am not sure.
Much Appreciated,
Mike

Thx. I just did it and it didn't seem to disrupt anything. I tested with a user with a smartview open, a report running and a WA dashboard on screen. It did mention that after refreshing the essbase server would be disconnected and i would have to reconnect but it didn't actually boot me out or disrupt any process.
I guess it's okay to do on a live production system. ?
Thx,
Mike

Refresh Security from shared services.

Hi
When ever there are any changes in the security at shared services(LDAP) , I am doing a refresh security from shared services(@EAS)
-in order to get these changes from shared services.
Which is taking 30 minutes refresh ever time in our systems.
Is there any other way to make quickone?
Version - 11.1.1.3
Thanks

strange? We are still on 931 (Essbase on 9.3.1.6) and refreshing security is not necessary at all any more. It is even deprecated functionality. I always though that 11 did not have it too.^^^The end (or most of the end) of Essbase.sec came in a late patch of 9.3.1. It isn't there yet in 11.1.1.3, I think. It is in 11.1.2. There was not a lot of fanfare about the change although it's there in the patch notes.

Refreshig security from shared services

let us assume that we are creating 5 users in shared services and provisioning them with different privileges. when refreshing these users security from shared services to essbase , i need to refresh the security of only one particular user role, how can i do that?

if using 9.3.1 later version u can use Shared servicves patch whcih will automatically update the security
or esle right clik on EAS security > refresh security from shared services > all users or currecnt users
which will update ur security
Refresh each user or group individually using MAXL command:
alter user username sync security with all application;
alter group groupname sync security with all application;

Security in shared services

Hi
In essbase we can load the securityfilters using HAL or MAXL , and in planning you can load the security file using importsecurity .cmd file, How about in shared services how can you load the bulk user security file. Is provisionusers.cmd will be helpful for this. I appreciate if any one keep some input for this.
Thanks

Hi,
There's an import/export utility in the $HYPERION_HOME\common\utilities folder which allows you to bulk upload/export users and provisioning from shared services.
This will allow you to do the bulk upload and do basic provisioning and assign your users to groups etc. However I don't think it's possible to assign Essbase filters to the users/groups.
In Planning you can use the importSecurity.exe to assign access in planning then when you do a planning refresh this will create and assign the correct filters to your users in the background.
Gee

If you're on Windows, edit the hosts file from: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc & include the Essbase, Shared services servers

Refresh Security from shared services fails.

Hello all,
On our environment I went into shared services with admin rights and changed the native directory password. And from then on I have not been able to refresh the security of essbase server in EAS. I get the following error,
Essbase failed to get roles list for [ESB:Analytic Servers:Servername:1] from Shared Services Server with Error [32:1062:Failed to connect to the user directory [Native Directoy].]
Also I would like to know if native directory password means the password "password" which comes as default for the username admin. Am new to essbase and was under the impression that native directory password means the password "password" which came as default for the username admin. Please help, this is a production issue which started only because I changed the native directory password and now I need to get it fixed.
Thanks.

Please confirm the version of the Shared Services (HSS) and Essbase, EAS server.
Also let me know, if the HSS, ESSBASE & EAS installed on the same box ?
If they are on the different servers, ensure that there is no network communication issues.. (try performing telnet on the port from each other servers)
E.g Open command prompt - telnet servername port (telnet HSS_SERVER 28080), hit enter.. if it shows the blank screen .. it is successful and there is no communication issues.
Also you could try..
On EAS server, add the below in windows registry under EAS... and restart the machine..
ESS_CSS_JVM_OPTION1 = -Dcom.hyperion.css.socketTimeout=60000
if you are not comfortable updating the registry contact you admin and ensure to take the backup before editing...

Cannot register Essbase on Shared Services 9.3.1

Hi,
I'm trying to register Essbase on Shared Services but I get an error message on the log "
Failed to authenticate user = admin". Essbase and Shared Services are on different boxes. I have installed Planning and Shared Services on the same box, and I'm able to register the Planning with SS. I have checked that I can see the Shared Services Server on Essbase server and I have checked that I'm using the correct host server name for Shared Services when I try to register Essbase, but it doesn't work. Also I have tried to create a new user on SS and provision with admin rules, but it didn't work neither. Any ideas?
The environment is Windows 2003/Tomcat/SQL Server 2005.
Thank you,
Glaucia
