ARIS 9.8 Publisher Login issues

Hi Marcel,

You have to configure the publisher to link with UMC then all users created on the UMC can do a login into Publisher.



Edit these files as examples.

...webapps\businesspublisher\config

umcconfig.cfg >> set the URL of UMC

    <!-- URL which points to the UMC server should be configured here and should look like -->

    <!-- http://[server]:[port]/umc -->

    <umcproviderurl value="http://SERVERNAME/umc"/>  

    <!-- Flag which indicates if single sign on should be enabled -->

    <!-- true = active, false = inactive -->

    <sso_active value="false" />

    <!-- login/password for the technical user or user with administration rights -->

    <umc_admin login="superuser" password="superuser"/> </Document>

webappserver.cfg >>

        <LoginModuleSection value="UMCLogin"/>



Save all files and restart the runnable of Publisher.

BR,

AO

Please note that changing configuration files of Publisher are NOT update-safe. Instead of changing them, try to replace your changes with ACC commands by reconfiguring Publisher. Example:

reconfigure businesspublisher_m +bp.login.module="UMCLogin" +bp.umc.server.url="http://YourARISServerName/umc"

See ARIS Server Installation and Administration Guide for other parameters of the Publisher runnable.

Hi André, thanks for your response. I checked the both config files and they are exactly as you describe. I still can't login.

Any tips ?

Hi Rune, thanks for the acc command. I run it but it still doesn't work. The businesspublisher_l config looks like this now:

ACC+ localhost>reconfigure businesspublisher_l +bp.login.module="UMCLogin" +bp.umc.server.url="http://fqdn design server/umc"

Successfully delta-reconfigured runnable businesspublisher_l on node localhost.

UMC login failed! Value 'Null' is not allowed [PARAMETER: [Tenant]].

Do you have other suggestions?

thanx

My comment was rather an example and didn't aim for a complete reconfiguration of Publisher.

If you haven't provided Publisher during the ARIS Publisher Server setup with valid UMC credentials, then you will run into that issue. A more complete example would then be (with a yet unchanged password for superuser):

reconfigure businesspublisher_m +bp.login.module="UMCLogin" +bp.umc.server.url="http://YourARISServerName/umc(link is external)" +bp.umc.admin.login="superuser" +bp.umc.admin.passwd="superuser"

Hi Rune, thanks for your response. All settings are correct ( I think ). When i enter the name of the publisher server in Aris Architect 9.8 it says: "A server with that name does not exist. Please enter a valid name or the correct IP address".

I am using the correct publisher server name.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Difficult to tell from remote what the root cause of that issue could be. Did you already open a support ticket?

They will ask you to provide the log files of both, your ARIS Diesng/Conenct Server from where you are trying to publish, and those ones from ARIS Publisher Server.

Cheers

Rune
