User authentication failed error

[Former Member]

Hi Experts!! We create and maintain user IDs in Active Directory to access development and quality portal. User IDs are mapped with backend user IDs. I created user in Active directory and mapped with backend system. User is able to log in to development portal but authentication is getting failed when user trying to login to quality portal. Please provide your inputs on it. Why user is able to log in dev portal but not in quality portal? Thanks ..

Hi Somya/Raja,

Yes configurations and validity both are fine. When I checked for user in Quality portal, I found that two same user IDs, one with data source as LDAP and other as UME. It might be because User ID was created in UME first and then later on when we got request to create user in AD, User ID was created in AD and hence, in portal I could see 2 user IDs. When deleted one user ID with UME data source.. I successfully logged in. Please confirm that why Authentication was getting failed?

1) because the two user IDs has different password maintained or

2) there were 2 user IDs?

Hi Richa,

Nice to hear your issue got resolved.

It is because two user Id's having different passwords.

Maybe you can try to assign same password and try to confirm it.

Hi Richa/Raja,

Even we have faced this issue of duplicate ids quite a few times.

Authentication fails as there are two ids and portal is unable to recognize the correct one..

I am not sure on the password part..as we were not able to get the password of LDAP id to confirm/match with UME password and try.

Hi Raja/ Somya,

Hi Somya/Raja,

I tried with all possibilities. And yes Raja was correct that authentication was getting failed becoz of different passwords for two same user IDs. I created user ID in portal and then in AD and gave same password for both. And I was able to logg in. However, I was getting roles which are assigned to ID in portal. That means if two same user IDs are there then it will authenticate and allow user ID created in portal (data source UME).

Please give your comments if I am missing something.

Thanks a lot!!

Hi Richa,

Thanks for the confirmation.

The authentication process will check the UME first before checking other sources so you are getting authenticated for the UME user only. So obviously the user roles from the portal s assigned.

Hi Richa,

Is the Active Directory Configuration is fine with QA portal?

Is other UME users able to login to QA portal?
