New Geoportal install issue

DavidEdmends

Hi All,

I was wondering if someone could offer me some install for an issue I am unable to resolve.

I have followed the Geoportal 1.2 install guide from here http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/geoportal/index.php?title=Installation_Version_1.2

My set-up consists of:

Windows Server 2008 R2 (64Bit)
SQL Server 2008 R2
Java JDK 6
Apache Tomcat 6.0.35
Apache Directory Server
Apache Directory Studio

I followed the install guide knowing that I wanted to use LDAP Authentication however as I am new geoportal I decided to first try Simple Authentication.

After a few hours of install I tried the smoke test and everything worked perfectly. I could login using my single sign in and see that the new user had been entered into the geoportal.GPT_user table in SQL Server.

Once I was happy that everything was OK I started setting up the system for the LDAP Authentication and this was when things came unstuck.

If I try to login as gptadmin i get the following message

Your username or password was not valid, please try again...

If I try to login as gptpublisher I get

A valid userid was not auto-generated for remote user: cn=gptpublisher,ou=users,ou=system

Back on the server I can see no new records being added into my SQL Server db and my Tomcat error log has a few Severe: Exceptions raised which ever I know can't be good!

Any advice would be very much welcome, if you need more information please ask and I will update this post.

Thank in advance

David

Is the ldapServiceAccount element limited to securityPrincipal, securityCredentials, encrypted, and catalogAdminDN attributes?  It would seem that if encrypted="true" that a passwordEncryptionAlgorithm attribute would also be needed.  I don't see any ESRI examples where encryption is true, any ESRI schema defining the attributes, or an java API showing the elements of this object.  I'd like clarification on what seems to be an incomplete definition.
