MS Project Integration

[Former Member]

Hi, we are trying to import an MS Project into cProjects but we get an error that "Security List is Invalid". We have set up the whitelist in the backend and ACF has also been set up in the individual PCs. Could someone guide us on what could be the issue?

thanks

Hi Alex, thanks for this. With this we are able to import the project but while we try to export we still keep getting the "Security List is Invalid" error. Could you let us know if there is something that needs to be checked?

thanks.

Hello Anantharam,

Can you check if download paths have been defined in the Whitelist (transaction WDR_ACF_WLIST)?

Also ensure that the user has the (Windows operating system) rights to write to the folder which you have defined in the download path.

SAP Note 1502999 (mentioned in the WIKI page recommended by Alex) should cover all information which is necessary to get this to work. Sometimes the trace mentioned in SAP Note 949770 is helpful to find out the root cause of whitelist problems.

Hi Alex,

                  It has still not been resolved. We still get the same error that "security list is invalid". We have created the whitelist and other settings as per the wiki but the error still persists.

thanks.

Hello Anantharam,

Did you go through note 1502999 and also specifically check the two points which I mentioned in my earlier reply?

If the issue persists, you will need to run a trace per note 949770. The trace will contain information as to why you are getting this error message.

Best regards

Hello Anantharam,

The trace does not include the information I was expecting to see. There are no entries of type "ERRO", which would be expected as you are getting error "Security List is Invalid" in the frontend. It looks to me like something did not work properly with this trace.

Please try again ensuring that you do the following:
- first set the trace level to 5 per note 949770 and close the browser window
- reopen the browser window, open the project and try to export (carry out all steps up to when the error "Security List is Invalid" is shown in the frontend)
- in the SAP ACF TRACE window use the right-click context menu to "Select All"
- paste the whole trace into a text file and upload the text file in your reply to this thread (do not paste the whole trace content directly in your reply)

Best regards
Francesco

Hello Anantharam,

A colleague happened to be analysing a similar issue today and we noticed a scenario where the error message "Security List is Invalid" may indeed not be added to the trace, due to the fact that the relevant method is left with an exception.

In case the trace still does not include relevant information for the error (per my earlier reply) you can try debugging the following method, which is processed when you try to export:

CL_WDR_ACF_METHOD_HNDL
Method GET_WHITELIST
       cl_wdr_acf_whitelist=>get_signed_xml( EXPORTING iv_whitelistvalue = whitelistvalue16 "whitelistvalue16
                                        IMPORTING ev_signature = signature
                                                  ev_certificate_name = ev_certificate_name ).

Is this call returning an exception?

If yes, then there is an issue signing the whitelist. You must carefully review notes 1502999 and 800240 which provide information about installation and configuration of the SAP Cryptographic Library (SAPCryptolib). The latter note includes report ZSSF_TEST_PSE which should be used to analyse the configuration.

Best regards
Francesco

Hi Francesco,

                         Thanks for this. We will check this and update the post. As you have mentioned the trace did not return any error pertaining to security list.

Hi,

       We configured the whitelist again and also note 1901981 was applied and the error has gone away. Closing the thread.
