SSA SPM Netweaver Federated Portal RRA

[Former Member]

We are trying to deliver the SPM dashboard via Federated Portal using Remote Role Assignment. We are using out-of-the-box iView and Role in the producer system, and delivering by assigning the remote role in the consumer system.

The out-of-the-box iView is a URL iview which points to the Flex application at http://<host>:<port>/flex/index.html.

The iview loads fine when accessed directly from the producer Portal. When we try to access the iview from the consumer Portal, the iview begins to load, but gets stuck in a loop and never finishes loading. Using Fiddler/HTTP watch, I can see the error returned is:

302 Found

SAP J2EE Engine/7.01

Cannot authenticate the user.

Details: No details available

The errors in the log files of the producer is as follows:

We discovered further that the symptom can be reproduced outside of the Federationo scenario.

What I mean by this is (as I mentioned above) when we try to access the SPM UI through the producer Portal, by logging into http://<host>:<port>/irj/portal and then navigating to Spend Performance Management, the UI loads fine.

But when we try to load the UI directly outside of Portal at the URL http://<host>:<port>/flex/index.html the UI fails to load. It gets stuck in a loop and shows this error in the logs and HTTPwatch:

HTTP request processing failed. HTTP error 302 will be returned. The error is http://No login module succeeded.No details available.#

Our Basis people are saying that they are familiar with configuring the Login Modules for the Portal at /irj/portal, but they don't see a setting in Visual Admin or in the SPM installation documentation to configure login modules for the /flex application (these appear to be different applications on the Java stack, and calling /flex may not engage the login mechanisms that /irj uses)

Yes, you are correct. You cannot launch the application directly using the path http://<server>:<server_port>/flex/index.html.

The user has to first authenticate themselves against the BI portal first generate a logon ticket and then launch the application, this is working as expected.

Hi Peter,

SPM UI uses BI portal connections to communicate to backend. So first you have to make sure users are able to launch the SPM UI by directly logging into BI portal. Looks like you have already done that.

Different customers have different setup, if BI portal uses BI ABAP as its UME it makes it much easier if not you will need user mapping for launching application in portal. Dont think you have an issue here either.

Next make sure the consumer portal & producer portal trust each other, meaning users logging into consumer portal are able to login to producer portal (BI portal) just fine. Think you might have already checked that.

Wanted to make sure I list these things as a reference to others. Having said all of this, there was a bug in SPM 2.1 SP3. Please upgrade to the latest SP & Patch for SPM UI (the current release is SP4 patch2).

If this still does not fix the issue, please open a customer message.

Regards,

Rohit
