Failed to authenticate the current user against the selected

[attu]

Hi,
we installed IIS 8.1 on RHEL v5.4 (myserver1). The install went okay and WAS, IS is up and running. The metadata XMETA (oracle 10g) is on a different server (oradev1).

We are unable to connect to DataStage Designer Client and getting this error message:

Code: Select all

the /etc/hosts file has the entry of both servers (myserver1 and oradev1) and their ip addresses.

What could be the issue? We are able to connect to the web console of WAS and IS.

Please let us know if their is anything missing in the configuration.

Thanks

Hello there,

Yes, I'm having the same problem. Although it seems that I'm getting the error because the WebSphere server1 has crashed (?!). I've configured DataStage security to use 'WebSphere User Registry'. And in turn I have configured WebSphere to use 'Local OS' authentication. When I try to login with any user other than 'dsadm' or 'admin', Server1 coredumps and I get this (in the post above) at login.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Have you tried after restarting the server. once i faced the issue and restart solved my problem.

Hi Sajidkp.

I've tried a number of things including restarting and it doesnt help. I thought that there was a problem witht he configuration fo the users being setup on the server and so I tried to set them up manually, however this doesnt work successfully and also gives me the following error:
