Error: Invalid Login Credentials

[error] security : Authentication failure:Invalid login credentials

Solution: Check for the following:

• Are the user ID and password valid and spelled correctly?
• Is your authentication method set up correctly? ESP supports a variety of authentication providers, all of which require configuration. To identify the configuration method or methods enabled on this node, open ESP_HOME/cluster/nodes/<node-name>/<node-name>.xml and look in the Security | Csi | File element. The file specified here is called the CSI file.

  If the <File> Value Is...	The Authentication Method Is...
  csi_boe.xml	SAP BI
  csi_kerberos.xml	Ticket-based Kerberos
  csi_ldap.xml	LDAP
  csi_local.xml	ESP native account (preconfigured login)
  csi_native_nt.xml	Windows
  csi_native_unix.xml	UNIX (Linus or Solaris)
  csi_rsa.xml	RSA
  <any other name>	Cascading (two or more of the methods above). There is no default CSI file name when the node uses cascading authentication. The file might be called csi_all.xml, csi_cascade.xml, or something else. Read the file to see which methods are enabled.

• If you are using UNIX authentication, have you configured a pluggable authentication module?
• If you are using multiple cascading authentication methods, have you 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 authenticate against a provider whose definition includes controlFlag="sufficient", or

  • You authenticate against every provider in the CSI file.
