Error while logging into VisualAdministrator

[Former Member]

While trying to login to VisualAdministrator I've got error message "Unable to logon to localhost: No login module succeeded!".

Prevoiusly I've made some changes in configuration of WebAS (using VisualAdministrator) in order to enable Client Certificates for Authentication - using the Security Provider service, I've adjusted the login module stacks: I've inserted ClientCertLoginModule but deleted BasicPasswordLoginModule.

I believe that this change might be the reason of the error.

Of course, I can't get now to the VisualAdministrator to restore thiese settings.

Can anybody help how to restore it?

Are there the settings placed in "web.xml" and "web-j2ee-engine.xml" files? If so, can you publish the original files?

Thanks in advance,

Marcin

Hi,

follow the following steps Using Config tool. (take backup of security)

<b>1. Make sure that you have a backup of the security configuration.

2. Navigate to security -> authentication -> DBMS User Store, and

export the folder 0.

3. Select the folder security -> authentication -> UME User Store, and

import the folder 0 with option "Import content as sub-configuration

below the selected configuration"

4. Select the security -> authentication ->UME User Store, and

choose create sub-node via right-click on the folder UME User Store.

Choose value entry with name 'size' and value Integer '1'.

(=> as a result you have the same structure below the node DBMS

User Store and UME User Store).

5. Delete the sheet with "template="client-cert"" below authentication.</b>

Hi Marcin,

Can you check the following.

<b>telnet localhost <port></b>(i.e. 50,000(100*instanc_no)4)

which will tell the P4 port is working or not.

Hi Ananda,

trying to connect via telnet on port 56000 makes telnet busy, but on port 56004 gives "v1#4None:127.0.0.1:56004" message.

On port 56004 I tried to configure my WEBAS SSL connection.

Hi,

Can you try to login using the following url

http://localhost:<port>/useradmin/index.jsp with administrator user and your password.

Hi Ananda,

This doesn't resolve my problem, because my Portal running on WebAS does work properly.

Problem is, that I can't login to VisualAdministrator tool ;(

Hi,

Can you please confirm whether you are able to login through URL. There is a work around, if it is working in URL and is not working with Visual Administrator.

Unfortunately, yes. Portal is working via URL but I can't get to VA to configure WebAS.

Marcin,

You should never delete the LoginModules, but rather comment them out within the xml file. Can you revert back to your previous authscheme.xml file?

Hi James,

I've never made changes in xml files.

I've just set some settings in VisualAdministrator tool, and when I wanted to login to VisualAdministrator next time I couldn't do it cause of login error.

It is strange for me, but probably these changes I've made in VA are the reason of the error - because the changes applied to login method.

I didn't want to reinstall my Web AS, so I've tried to find xml files containing these settings. I've assumed, that they are in web.xml and web-j2ee-engine.xml files, but I'm not quite sure of it and when I replaced these files with some other (which contained other login module stack and login method (BASIC)) - it didn't help.

Some suggestions?

Thanks,

Marcin
