Error on role import for SAP integration with BO in CMC (3.1)

Question

Hello,
We are trying to integrate existing BO environment in our company with existing BW installation.
BO Environment - 3.1
BW/ECC Environment - (BW - BI 7.0 SP20, ECC 6.0)
So got the pre-requisites completed and the transports imported into both BW and ECC environments. Upon these steps we went ahead and installed the integration kit for 3.1 system.
There were no error messages, after we completed the installation went into infoview and in the authentication drop down checked to see if I can get "SAP" in there....which it did. So, I am assuming there were no issues till this point which we might have missed out.
Upon this, when I went into SAP authentication in CMC and double clicked on SAP and in the next screen clicked on "NEW" and added in the application server, system number, id and password and updated it...this automatically updated the logical system.
But when I go into the role import, it gives me the following error message....
Exception in JSP: /jsp/auth/sapsec_import_role.jsp:22:19:20: <%21:string context::secSAPR3ImportRoleBean.getContextPath():22: secSAPR3ImportRoleBean.init(request):23:response.setHeader("Expires","0"):24: 5> Stacktrace:
The only thing is we have not assigned the CRYSTAL_ENTITLEMENT role to it as we are at this point only trying to see if we can log into webi...
So, is it required to assign this role to an existing user id role in order for me to import the roles into BO CMC screen in order to be assigned to a group.
Can you please help me out on this.
Thanks
Dharma.

Hello Ingo,
Thanks a lot for looking into the question.
Yes, we are taking about the SAP Authentication part where I am trying to import roles in SAP into BO after I provide the login information in the Entitlement systems tab.
I confirmed that all parts of Java Connector configuration were taken care of as mentioned in the installation manual and from your blog.
The only piece left off is the CRYSTAL_ENTITLEMENT role assignment to the id which is used within the entitlement systems tab in CMC. I will get this configured and try it one more time.
Just to confirm,
1. The new user id to be created (should it be a RFC user or dialog user)
2. Is the only role to be assigned to the new user is CRYSTAL_ENTITLEMENT with the authorization mentioned in the installation manual
3. What are the roles to be imported into BO within CMC (are these the roles which we want for data access)
4. When a user tries to login with any other user id other than the one listed in Entitlement systems tab, does it use the roles assigned to that person in SAP to retrieve the data or would it be dependent on the roles imported into BO within CMC in earlier step.
Please let me know.
Thanks
Dharma.
