Hi guys,
I know I’m making a rookie mistake here, but I thought I’d ask anyway. My Sametime server has been running happily for a while, installed from scratch on version 8.5 (entry). All is good, unless I want to get to the web-based admin tools.
If I try to access stcenter.nsf, I don’t get the login prompt - I just get a 401 http error. This tells me that there’s something wrong with the settings on the underlying Domino server, so I put up a replica of a simple database I have with one form (to display username) and an ACL with Anonymous set to no access and Default set to Editor. Same deal - the server doesn’t prompt me for a password.
Normally, I would play around with the authentication settings on the server document, but because it is running Sametime and I’m not so flash with the authentication settings needed for Sametime, I’m not too keen to meddle for fear of breaking things.
My server document says (among other thigns):
Session Authentication: Multiple Servers (SSO)
Web SSO Configuration: LtpaToken
Can anybody point me in the right direction?
Cheers,
Brendan
Subject: Check ACL
You need to check the ACL of the STCENTER.NSF & STCONFIG.NSF. There should be a role in one of these databases to designate Admin access. Sorry, I don’t have access to the databases or I could tell you definately which one. The problem you describe is typical of a new install because it will not automatically update the ACL for you.
Hope this helps,
John
Subject: I think it is something more than that
Hi John,
Thanks for the response, but I think it is something more than just acl settings on stcenter (although that could be wrong too). Here’s why:
To test things out, I have a small app called webtest.nsf. It has one form, that displays the user name. The ACL for this app has:
Anonymous: No Access
-Default-: Editor
I popped this onto my Sametime server, and tried to access it using
http:///webtest.nsf
and
http:///webtest.nsf
in both of these cases (perhaps not for the server name case if it needs the full qualified name) I would expect that it would prompt me for a user name and password so that I could authenticate. Instead, it just returns a 401 error in Firefox and a 403 error in IE.
The server must be missing the bit that makes it request the user’s credentials, but I’m not sure what that is.
Any other ideas?
