Issue: When you attempt to log in to SAP Event Stream Processor, an error
displays.
[error] security : Authentication failure:Invalid login credentials
Solution: Verify the following:
- The user ID and password are valid and spelled correctly.
- Your authentication method is set up correctly.
SAP Event Stream Processor supports a variety of authentication
providers, all of which require configuration. To identify the configuration
method or methods enabled on this node, open
STREAMING_HOME/cluster/config/<cluster-name>/cluster.xml
and look in the <Security> element. Compare the <Authenticator>
elements here with the examples located at
STREAMING_HOME/cluster/config/<cluster-name>/auth_*.xml.
- If you are using UNIX authentication, you have configured a pluggable
authentication module.
- If you are using multiple cascading authentication methods, you have set
controlFlag="sufficient" on each
<authenticationProvider> or
<config:authenticationProvider> element in the CSI
file. This flag allows you to authenticate using only one authentication
provider. Anyone who tries to log in using an authentication provider that lacks
controlFlag="sufficient" must authenticate multiple times.
ESP cycles through the authentication
providers in the order in which they appear in the file; you cannot log in until
you have authenticated against a provider whose definition includes
controlFlag="sufficient".
