Could not init workbench error when connecting to RTC Server
Several of my users have reported problems connecting to the repository server using Firefox 3.5.7. Where the error messages that appear "Could not init workbench. Error fetching initialization data: Your account does not belong to the groups that are authorized to access the Web UI. Please contact your server administrator." I'm an admin and I don't get this error at all.
Anyone knows what's going in on here? I looked at their user's account and he has read and write access to the project. Any ideas what could be wrong? Enrique |

we use Bluepages for authentication as well -- by default it is case sensitive, so if the user in question is actually in the bluegroup, make sure they are using the correct case for their login.

Also, if the configuration of LDAP for your RTC is similar to this: com.ibm.team.repository.user.registry.type=LDAP com.ibm.team.repository.ldap.findUsersByUserIdQuery=preferredIdentity\=?1 com.ibm.team.repository.ldap.baseGroupDN=ou\=memberList,ou\=ibmgroups,o\=ibm.com com.ibm.team.repository.ldap.findGroupsForUserQuery=uniquemember\={USER-DN} com.ibm.team.repository.ldap.userAttributesMapping=userId\=preferredIdentity,name\=cn,emailAddress\=preferredIdentity If a person logs in with something other than their preferredIdentity then this symptom will be reported. I had user contact me today, preferredIdentity in LDAP is different than the ID being used to login to RTC. |
We just had this exact issue happen here at CareMedic Systems. The resolution is that the user name does have to be EXACTLY right. If it is entered in the list of user names as lowercase, then the user name MUST be entered as lowercase.
This may not help with "BluePages" issues, but it may be helpful for other times that this particular issue comes up (and we know it will come up again). -Walter we use Bluepages for authentication as well -- by default it is case sensitive, so if the user in question is actually in the bluegroup, make sure they are using the correct case for their login.

i am also facing this issue for my couple of users who are using FF 3.5.9 and RTC 2.0.0.2.. they even tried it out with chrome browser it doesn't work.. LDAP authentication, jazzuser group, their username id's,.. all are correct but still the issue appears for only few users... Is there any solution for it...???

Is it possible that login info is cached so that if an individual tries to login before they are
actually part of the right ldap group afterward the individual will get the subject message ? I got reports of this for newly created users and when I check their properties (license, JazzUsers, project/team membership) all appears well. But access still fails. I turned on LDAP logging and noticed only 1 lookup for one of the users in question. I've had reports of this in the past where the next day the access mysteriously works. i am also facing this issue for my couple of users who are using FF 3.5.9 and RTC 2.0.0.2.. they even tried it out with chrome browser it doesn't work..
