Installation was successfully but cant start the portal

[Former Member]

Hi

I download the SAP Portal 7 trial version and installed it in typical option on Win XP. During the install it was asked to put the master password. The installation was successfully finished. Trying to start the server from the administration console it was asked to authenticate (put the username and password.) After typing of the credential data I get in a message box: "invalid credential, start failed: 2" and the start of the server fail. I retyped and even reinstall the Portal two times to be sure that I do not make a mistake but each time I get the same error!

I installed it later again and choosed custom installation option and step by step, put all necessary passwords and installation was successfully. But the result was the same and I get the error again!

Please help to to get the portal a start

Hi Shadmehr,

Try the below when ask to login:

user: <your computer name>/username

password: password that was setup

I remember for NW04s preview - MMC requires the below, but not sure if thats the same situation as yours:

user: <your computer name>/nspadm

password: password given for nspadm when installting NW2004s

Hope that helps and award hepful suggestions.

nobody would believe but the portal started after i put the authentication data which i used for logon to my windows xp system!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am confused! Now the portal is starting.I think this will take plenty of time!

But i will not stay until the server start is finished and try it tomorrow. I will be back tomorrow and tell if the server run was finished!

Ray, see the forecast before y bunch your bug! They gave notice about frozen weather in Swizerland

Hi ,

The SAP MMC will ask for the Operating System Authentication. It is not the portal Master password or so. It is related to microsoft but not to SAP so it will just ask for the windows authentication for the basic security purpose

Thanks,
