The entitlement system has to be re-enabled before it can be used again. After each restart

Jan 20, 2017 at 07:41 AM | 1k Views

Hi.

We recently installed Support Packs & Patches on our Business Objects 4.1 environment (Development & Production). Our old environment was Business Objects 4.1 SP07. We installed SP's & Patches to go up to BO 4.1 SP08 Patch Level 3.

Since doing this, we are getting the following error message after each restart of the BO environments. What I need to do to resolve it each time, is to go into the CMC on each system, then into Authentication -> SAP and then click the "Update" button to restore the SAP Authentication. This works until the next restart of the system again.

I have checked the configs in the Tomcat -> WebApps folder, but I am almost sure that I am missing something somewhere.

Error message:

Account information not recognized: CSecSAPR3Binding::XRFCCnxBroker::BorrowConnection() failed. See following log entries for details. Failed while trying to log on to SAP system. The following RFC error was returned: [Group, Key, Message]: [4, "RFC_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE", " LOCATION CPIC (TCP/IP) on local host with Unicode ERROR GSS-API(maj): No credentials were supplied GSS-API(min): SAPCRYPTO PSEDIR directory not found: C:\sec (<Default>) Could't acquire DEFAULT INITIATING credentials TIME Fri Jan 20 09:24:56 2017 RELEASE 720 COMPONENT SNC (Secure Network Communication) VERSION 6 RC -4 MODULE sncxxall.c LINE 1445 DETAIL SncPAcquireCred SYSTEM CALL gss_acquire_cred COUNTER 1 "]. The entitlement system has been disabled in memory. This may be because the SAP system is unavailable or because the credentials are invalid. The entitlement system has to be re-enabled before it can be used again.

    I suspect this is the cause of the issue, but I am not sure how to fix it.

    SAPCRYPTO PSEDIR directory not found: C:\sec (<Default>)

    KBA 1724785 is similar and a 1st place to check is the entitlement user. There are other KBA's that mention the entitlement user type, or set with no initial password, etc. Possibly as a test try a different type entitlement user even an admin and see if that's related to the problem. It's not a common occurrance.

    The sec directory is usually associated with SNC. Do you have SNC enabled and more importantly are you using an SNC string in the entitlement tab?

    Regards,
