Authentication error in Portal iViews after upgrade to MDM 7.1 SP4

[Former Member]

Hi,

we have upgraded our MDM systrem to the latest available: MDM 7.1 SP4 Patch 8, and also updated the Portal contents.

After the upgrade we are able to successfully test the connection from the Portal to the MDM, but we got error in MDM iViews:

"Can not authenticate repository session '<server=xxxxxxxx serverUser=Admin repository=Materials_S region=English [US] user=BGxxxxxx>' because user password is not specified (see log for details)"

We are using Trusted connection (maintained the portal IP in the allow.ip file, and before the upgrade everything worked fine. Now even the Change Tracker does not work - I got "You are not authorized for this"!

The version of the Portal is: NW 7.00 SP15, and upgrade of it is almost impossible

Can somebody help if after the upgrade we need to do something in addition?

Thanks&Regards,

ILIN

Hi Ilin,

Please have a look at SAP Note 1392333 - Portal upgrade results in MDM iViews authentication errors. You will need S-User id to view the note.

This has the solution to this error.

Hi,

The note is applicable to MDM 5.5. Thread starter has MDM 7.1 and so do I. Any more suggestion ?

Hi All,

thanks for your help. We have rised OSS note to SAP and they have identifyed that the problem is in MDM Java API and Portal Contents. They provided fix (Patch 14) and now it is OK - see SAP note: Note 1464966 - MDM 7.1 SP04 Patch12 Release Note

MDM Java API:

Fixed: During the creation of the MDM session with MDM repository from MDM portal standard iViews or custom application (standalone or in portal), the following error message appears in the portal default trace: "Can not authenticate repository session# because user password is not specified" or "Can not trust user session.." and in addition, the corresponding trace logs contains the following entry "BlobCacheImpl.retrieveSchema" (O 320008 2010 and O 327326 2010).

MDM Portal Content (iViews):

Fixed: During the creation of the MDM session with MDM repository from MDM portal standard iViews, the following error message appears in the portal default trace: " Can not authenticate repository session# because user password is not specified " or "Can not trust user session.." and in addition, the corresponding trace logs contains the following entry "BlobCacheImpl.retrieveSchema". If the corresponding MDM Java API fix has been applied, applying the MDM iViews fix is not required, since the Java API issue should be sufficient (O 320008 2010 and O 327326 2010).

Thanks&Regards,
