User does not exist in client 900,

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am getting a user mapping error in my Fixpack1 setup and I have looked all over and cant see where I am going wrong.

The error I see in SRUTIL on my SCL is: User ess\domass does not exist in client 900

I have checked and completed the setup: /IWFND/WSS_SETUP and am sure my WS Security options are correct.

I configured the user mapping using SIMGH but had to update the entrys in SM30 but VUSREXTID looks to be set with the correct mapping of the problem account: SharePoint::ess\domass

I have checked in SE16 and table /IWFND/V_C_ISSUR has the correct Sharepoint config: SHAREPOINT_INT - SharePoint - CN=SharePoint Security Token Service, OU=SharePoint, O=Microsoft, C=US

The settings in LDAP are correct and I am connecting to my ADS OK.

I have checked the ISSUERH field in table USREXTID and that does have data inside it but when I delete that data as instructed from other SDN posts this does not make a difference to my connection.

Is there something else I can check?

Many Thanks

Mike

Hi Mike,

I haven't seen this error before. It almost sounds like the user mapping is by-passed all together.

There is one more place you should check. Go to SAML2 and verify the following:

Trusted provider tab --> Secure Token Service --> select SharePoint --> Identity Federation tab:

Here you should have one entry called 'Unspecified' and the setting for 'Details of NameID Format' should be set to 'Mapping in USEREXTID table'.

Thanks Alex.

Your advice solved my problem. Not sure how I got to that state but the development team came back this week and we are working fine.

Many Thanks

Mike
