User Authentication Failed error when trying to display a JSP portlet

The steps carried out are as follows :
1. Created a JSP file named "c.jsp" and deployed it under 902_MidTier_Home\j2ee\home\default-web-app\examples\jsp
2. Created a table named USER_TABLE under Scott schema to store the usernames and passwords to validate this JSP application.
3. Registered this JSP as an external application with the following values :
Application Name           : RAGHU
Login URL          : http://hostname:port/j2ee/examples/jsp/c.jsp
User Name/ID Field Name     : username
Password Field Name     : password
Type of Authentication Used : POST
3. Clicked on the External Application and entered the username as USER1 and password as USER1 ( These values are available
under USER_TABLE for comparison ). Then it shows the message "Hi User1 .. Welcome message"
4. Now created a directory named JSPSAMPLE under "WEB-INF\Providers" and put the provider.xml file under this.
Created a raghu.properties file and placed it under "WEB-INF\deployment".
5. Now tested the testpage using the URL " http://hostname:port/jpdk/providers/raghu " and it works fine.
6. Registered this as a provider in Portal and added this portlet onto a page. Assigned this page to a newly created user.
It gives the message " Authentication Failed - Update Login Information " which is expected. I click on the link and
it takes me to the external application username password. I enter the credentials but this time it comes back again
to the page with the same message " Authentication Failed - Update Login Information ".
7. Basically the values are not passed to the Username and Password in jsp page which is why the problem occurs.
The JSP Code used is as follows :
<%@ page import="java.sql.*" %>
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>DB Connectivity test</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF">
<CENTER>
<B>user_table</B>

ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
while(rs.next())
out.println("<TR>");
out.println(" <TD> hi " + rs.getString("userid") + ", welcome</TD>");
out.println("</TR>");
out.println("</TABLE>");
catch(SQLException e)
out.println("SQLException: " + e.getMessage() + "<BR>");
while((e = e.getNextException()) != null)
out.println(e.getMessage() + "<BR>");
out.println("invalid userid,password");

out.println("ClassNotFoundException: " + e.getMessage() + "<BR>");

As I can see from the information posted, you are trying to
use URL-based portlet's SSO feature, though not in a correct
way.
The SSO feature of URL-based portlets relie on the usage
of Cookies as authentication tokens. For example, in the
present context, http://hostname:port/j2ee/examples/jsp/c.jsp
will write a cookie to the client upon successfull authentication.
Subsequent access to the same JSP or some other JSP in the same
workspace should be checking for the existence of this particular
cookie at the client side and if found should not prompt for
user information again.
If you can fine tune your existing applications as per above
conditions, then everything should work fine. Else you might
want to use page parameters to pass user information.
For more information on page parameters, please visit

"User authentication failed" when connecting with Visual Administrator

Hello,
I am having trouble making a connection to my local J2EE Engine using the Visual Administrator (VA).
I open the VA interface and create a new connection. The default User Name is "Administrator". I put in "localhost" for host, "50004" for port and leave the Transport Layer selection to "Default".
When I try to connect this way I get the following message:
User authentication failed
Next I went into Start|Settings|Control Panel|Users and Passwords and saw that there were several ids created by the Developer Workplace (DW) installation. The ids that I see are: j2eadm,sapadmin,sapinstall and SAPServiceJ2E
I checked all of them to see what groups they're members of and they're all at least members of "Administrators" group.
There are also 3 new groups that must have been created by the DW installation: SAP_J2E_GlobalAdmin, SAP_J2E_LocalAdmin and SAP_LocalAdmin.
The j2eadm id belonged to all 3 new sap groups so I changed its password to something I'd remember and then changed the connection to use that login.
When I tried to connect thru VA using this id and the new password I still get the "User authentication failed" error message.
Can anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help.
David.

Hi,
During the installation the SAPINST asks for a Administrator Password.. This password is very important.
We had kept same passwords for all userids to start with.
This helped reduce lot of confusion.
Warning: if you enter the wrong password 5 times, the userid 'Administrator' gets locked.
However there is an Emergency password recovery procedures.
Try this link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/3a/4a0640d7b28f5ce10000000a155106/frameset.htm

User Authentication Failed via http BUT not with Visual Administrator !!?

SAP Netweaver 2004s Application Java
Hi All,
Since a couple of days, I have a problem concerning authentication to the java apllication on a SAP Netweaver 2004s.
Using the user Administrator, I CAN logon the Visual Administrator tool, with the same user I tried to logon via http://host:port/nwa without success.
At the beginning, I was thinking about a problem of password then I enabled the emergency user SAP*, the problem was the same. Ok with Visual Administrator but not via http.
Here is two logs found in folder : D:\usr\sap\SID\JC02\j2ee\cluster\server0\log\system\

<b>Do you have an idea for me? Why a user can connect via Visual Administrator and not via the http interface?</b>
Thanks in advance
Yves

Hi,
I found the solution this last week-end.
This behavior let's thinking to a problem of authentication.
But the problem was in SQL, an index was missing in table J2EE_CONFIG, called J2EE_CONFIG_I3

Reason 413: User Authentication Failed

Hi, I have not used my VPN connection for quite some time but when I did recently try and log on again I get the box to enter in my user name and password, I proceed to enter it, then the box pops up again, I enter it again, and then it pops up a third time, and I enter it a third time. Finally I get a Reason 413: User Authentication Failed message box and I never can connect. Does this sound like a problem with my actual user name and/or password, or could it be something else? I am using Windows8. Thanks

The actual reson of failure can be seen on the external authentication server. If you have a radius server, please go and check what error message are you getting there.
Could be dial-in issue, max-number of session, wrong password, acount locked-out etc
Also let us know what radius are you using?

Windows A/D Authentication Failed (Error 1300L)

I currently have in place CS ACS Solution Engine v3.3.3 and the Remote Agent is installed on Windows Server 2003. I'm using a lab environment to test Authentication to network switches and routers using ACS as Radius with Windows A/D as the backend. I have had success with the authentication using the CiscoSecure DB but when I change it to Windows DB I get the follwing error in the log:

I installed the RemoteAgent with a Domain Admin Acct. and the CSAgent Service is running with the same acct. Also the external DB is established and the Unknown User Policy is enabled.
Any suggestions??
TIA

Looking into the CSWINAgent log file, I determined that the authentication request was being "forwarded" to a different Windows Server and failing. Talking to one of our Systems Admins, I determined that the Remote Agent was in fact installed on a Domain Controller, but its role might not provide the service needed to do the username query. Furthermore, he went on the explain that we have a number of DCs in our evnironment, but that they each act as different "roles." Apparently the Remote Agent is smart enough to recognize that the current DC in which the Remote Agent was installed on could not perform the task requested and looked for the DC that could (the log file gave me the name of the DC that could). The Systems Admin stated that the DC that the log file was pointing to was the "PDC emulator" in our native envirnoment. So in short, I installed it on the suspected DC and everything works great. I did have to that the Domain Admin to the security Policy that you stated. I have been doing 802.1X machine and user auth ever since without issue. Thanks for your help.

Fixed Access Denied and Authentication Failed errors

I had set up ARD Client on 15 workstations. One workstation would not let me connect, continually returning an "Authentication Failed" error. ARD list indicated "access denied" despite the fact I gace all privileges to an authenticated connecting user. I could, however, connect by turing on guest access upon permission.
Anyway, the solution was to force ARD to re-add the offending workstation by deleting it, quitting ARD, then re-adding the workstation once again.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=152712

I am experiencing the same poblem with just 1 machine/client onthe network.
I have removed ARD on theclient per appl service doc # 108021, reinstalled, check and recreated that machines password as admin, removed the machne form the ARD main app , shut down ARD , remopened ARD and recreated the machine and no soap. Still recognized but unavailable.
Strange because I can access the machine unproblematically via the OS directly as Go ==> Connect to server.
I have checked ports. Confirmet UDP setting and the like.
I have exhaused all my tricks...any ideas?

User Authentication failed on configuring LDAP

Hi,
I had configured MS ADS ReadOnly Deep Hierarchy + Database as my datasource. earlier it was "Database only". Once I did new configuration to ADS+Database, the test connection was succesfull and then restarted the server.
When I try to login it says user authentication failed. When I check for particular loginId say "testuser" in User Administration it gave 2 results for the same login ID one coing from UME and the other from LDAP.
To resolve this conflict do I need to delete one of the login ID from either UME or LDAP, or is there any other solution where I can resolve this issue.
Regards,
Ravi.

Ravi
If the user id is same in the portal UME as well as LDAP there will be conflict and you need to delete the id at one place or if you want both you need to change the id.

User authentication Failed in XMII portal

Hi,
we are using XMII 12.0 version and deployed in SAP netweaver 2004s. We are frequently facing issue in XMII Menu page login and in SAP netweaver user management logins as "User authentication Failed". It is happening for all users suddenly. we are giving username and password correctly but we faced the same problems. We tried with all users then also we cant able to find the probem. Every time we needs to restart the server then it works.
What is the issue and how to resolve it?
Regards,
Senthil

Hi Senthil,
I would strongly recommend upgrading your installation. You are on 12.0.2 and the current release is 10 service packs later. You should upgrade to 12.0.12 before working on what is probably the original GA version from about 4 years ago.

Mike

User Authentication Fails,Unless Admin resets the pwd,user cannot logon.

Hi
I have a EP7 SP18 Portal .
The portal UME is Readonly Microsoft LDAP + UME Database.
I have a user named testuser which exists in Both the UME's.
the testuser of LDAP is locked through Portal User admin.
Now whenever the testuser tries to logon to portal,he gets User Authentication Failed message.
The failed logon attempt info is not reflcted in User Account details.when viewd through portal user admin.
if Administrator resets the Password of testuser in portal,then user is able to logon to the portal using this password.
Next day,again same thing happens.
what can be the reason behind this ?

User authentication failed when user is locked by system admin

Hello!
We have EP 6.0 (SP 18) and ABAP Backed 6.40 (SP21). UME is connected to the backend system for user managment.
When we try to log on to EP with a user that is locked by the system admin in the backend, the message shown is "User authentication failed".
Should it be possible to show a message as "User locked by system admin", for the user to know the reason?
Thanks in advance and regards!

Hi,
We are using SAP EP7 and BW7 SP15. We are getting proper messages in portal when account is locked at BW System.

"authentication failed" error for adobe content viewer

i keep getting "authentication failed" error when logging in to adobe content viewer on my ipad. I am signed in to my adobe account. what else can I do?

per neil enns,
Did you log into http://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com/ with your account, on your PC, and confirm there are no terms and conditions to accept? If so and you still can't log in on your iPad it is likely due to blocked ports by your IT department's firewall.

Authentication Failed Error

Hello,
I have a button on my page, which when clicked calls a procedure in the backend. The procedure actually submits a request to concurrent program manager and returns a url in a out parameter. The url is actually the path to a letter in pdf format stored on the server. In the controller, I am checking for the error status returned by the api. If it is success, I am redirecting to the same page and setting the url(returned as a out param) to the link using
setDestination().So, when the page renders again, the link has a destination. When I click on the link, the letter is opening in a new window with the correct data. Till, this point everything is happening as required. But when the user closes the letter and again click on the link to open the letter again, it says "Authentication Failed". I tried redirecting the page to same page and setting the url again in procesRequest. This is happening but the letter is not opening, because when we click on a link having both destination and controller code event, only the controller code will be executed.
Please suggest how to solve this issue.

That sometimes means that your AM doesn't know its own name correctly. ie the amconfig.properties and the data in the directory for the paltform settings doesn't match. This can happen if you just switched to SSL or have made other naming changes by hand to the AMConfig.properties file.

Authentication Failed error message on browser while login to author instance

after some time we just bounced the author instance we got startup completed message ver quickly and not started all the bundles(started only 121 bundles).
Tried to login author instance on browser it was showing Authentication Failed message.
Please helpout in resolving this issue.
Thanks in Advance.

I did not really understand what the problem with the domain/hostname or so is you mentioned but lets set it aside and assume that it doesnt cause any further problems for now.
About your questions:
1) With which user do you try to login?
"amadmin" is default name for the administrative user.
Did you rename him or do you try to log in with another user?
"amadmin" is probably the only user which "works" just after installing.
When you go to portal/dt, are you logged in or are you on the anonymous desktop? If you did not make any changes you shold get either a login channel or a Userinfo channel.
This way you should be able to see if you are logged in.
Also important for you:
Logfiles for access manager and portal are by default placed in the folder /var/opt/SUNWam/. There is a debug and logs folder.
These loggings are most of the time more helpfull than the directory server logs.
To get a finer logging edit the file /etc/opt/SUNWam/AMConfig.properties
There is a line "...=error". Replace error with message and restart the webserver/appserver-domain.
