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.

"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

The error message means that Active Directory server Reject the authentication attempt
as for some reasons the user account got locked.I guess, You should ask your AD Team to check in the AD
Event Logs why did the user account got locked.
Under Even Viewers, You can find it out

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?

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 ?
Regards
Rajendra

invalid now.

"Authentication failed. User is already authenticated as a different user."

Hello,
Initially I was not able to log into the Visual Admin. When I logged into the Visual Admin, I got authenication failed. I reset the password of Administrator in the User Administration on the portal. Now I can log into the Visual Admin using the password I just changed on the portal .
I am not able to logon to the portal using "Administrator". I get this message: "Authentication failed. User is already authenticated as a different user."
The URL is somewhat different as this is a production portal: "http://host.com/sld" (/irj/portal)
Does any one have a clue.
Thanks

NoMachine(freenx) Authentication failed for user (MYUSERNAME)

Hi all,
I have quite a few experience with freenx on other linux distributions, but this is my first time setting up freenx on archlinux. After following the instructions in the wiki, authentication keeps failing no matter what I do.
Stuff I've done from the wiki:
1. install freenx
2. add RSAAuthentication yes AllowUsers someuser nx to sshd_config
3. add md5sum to node.conf
4. pacman -S xdialog xterm
5. run "/usr/bin/nxsetup --install --setup-nomachine-key"
6. modify /etc/nxserver/node.conf so that "USER_X_STARTUP_SCRIPT=.xinitrc"
7. pick the right configurations when connecting to my server
I have "exec startxfce4" in .xinitrc.
It always goes up to "Waiting for authentication" and then "Authentication failed for user (MYUSERNAME)" pops up. I think it should not be a XFCE issue since authentication itself didn't even pass. I assume if it is a X window problem, what I would get is something like a blank screen.
I'm using public key, so I didn't really copy anything from the server to my client.
I couldn't think of a second reason why this wouldn't work. Is there any thing obvious that I missed? (If so, please move this thread to the newbie corner. lol)
Any thoughts would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

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.
Thanks

Essbase Error 1051440 - Authentication fails for user admin

We are facing a very unique problem...
The application is up & running.. even I can login into the application, can perform member addition, editing & mamage database from planning.... but I get this error while retreiving from excel addin or running scripts.
What I analysed is that this problem is Actually coming when a particular set of members are called anywhere either in scripts or during retreival thru Addin.
Recently we had added one dimension in one of the database of our application. After that that this problem started.
There were fewer Xref functions used to pull data from other cubes.... The problem is cominng with only those set of members where this Xref function has been used.
Even I had changed the formulas & incorporated member of new dimension in the formulas to point to target members....
Can you guys ever had faced such kind of issue....
Please help in resolving....
Complete Error is: msg fromremote site[date n time] Local////Error(1051440) Essbase user[admin] Authentication fails against shared services serverwith Error[30:1005:Authentication failed for user admin. Enter valid credentials.]]

Hi,
are you sure that user "admin" has all necessary rights to run your scripts? I have to ask because we sometimes had problems with our admin user... There is an "native essbase server admin" and the admin user in shared services.
We dont had any idea how this could happen but sometimes our admin user changed to the mentioned "native essbase server admin" - you can see it if you are connected as "admin (internal)".
If you are logged in as "admin (internal)" you have to "externalize" this user.
Hope this helps and my bad english is not so much confusing... :-)
Kind regards
André

[nQSError: 43126]Authentication failed:invalid user/password, how to avoid?

Hi,
I encountered following error: [nQSError: 43126] Authentication failed: invalid user/password.
when I was starting weblogic server, and server used to shutdown.
After snooping around on net, came across this blog: http://obiee11gqna.blogspot.com/2011/09/obiee-11g-errors-nqserror-43113.html
Found that password for MDS & BIPLATFORM was 'expired', was able to solve my problem and my Presentation Services were up & running.
My question is, how to avoid password of MDS & BIPLATFORM from getting expired in future??
Regards,
Jitendra

Dpka,
Thanx for the link, it shows the way to avoid expiry of password.
I also found another link, in comment section which is equally useful: http://www.artofbi.com/index.php/2011/03/mds-or-biplatform-schema-password-change-considerations/
PS: Thanx to Deva as well for replying to my query.

Authentication failed: invalid user/password.

After uploading a new RPD in obiee( 11.1.1.5), my obiee has started failing with following error in nqserver.log. I have verified that BISystemUser password is the same in console and EM. I have also verified that I am entering correct RPD password while uploading it through EM. What else may be wrong ?

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

OS : Win 2k3 Server UK * DB : SQL Server 2005
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\

Do you have an idea for me? Why a user can connect via Visual Administrator and not via the http interface?
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

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.
Regards,
Mike
