Jazz setup throws an error while saving customizedproperties


S K (1611) | asked Sep 11 '08, 2:03 p.m.
First thing, I found Jazz Installation Instructions are very good.As per the steps in the installation instructions I did setup of Jazz Web App on WebSphere Application Server (running on Linux RHLE4) and database is DB2 (on Windows). And also configured the ldap on WebSphere App Server, and edited the teamserver.properties with ldap information (bluepages). In the jazz/setup (browser) configuration I do see ldap connection is successfully. When I click "finish" button it gives an error - "An error occurred while saving the configuration properties. Please check your server log for more details". I ignore the jazz/setup error message because teamserver.properties has appropriate information. When I try to create a user account in jazz/admin (browser) it complains that logged-in account don't have enough privilege. Not sure whats causing the issue. Did I miss anything during setup.

The most common causes for the error saving configuration properties are:
1. The path to teamserver.properties contains a ' ' character
2. WebSphere does not have the latest Java SDK fixpack installed

It is possible that the WAS fixpack issue is causing both of your
problem, but I'd need a little more info to be sure. Can you copy the
exact error message that you get when you see that the "logged-in
account don't have enough privilege"?

Thank you for responding/helping.
This information may help you to provide suggestion to me.
"After Jazz install and WAS setup I have directly modified the teamserver.properties with ldap information, and then ran the jazz/setup."

Here I get this error message when I click "Next" button on "UserRegistry" section of jazz/setup

"An error occurred while saving the configuration properties. Please check your server log for more details"

(At this point no error message/info in log files jazz.log, systemout, systemerr.log).

Websphere Server instances: server.xml has this:
<systemProperties>

I changed the permission of teamserver.properties to 777, just incase.

https://server:9443/jazz/admin --- when I enter this url in a browser, it directly logs me in as "ADMIN" user without a prompt.

In previous message, I think server.xml info is not rendered properly becuase xml/html tags etc. Here is systemProperties looks like.

systemProperties
name="com.ibm.team.server.configURL" value="file:///opt/IBM/JazzTeamServer/server/teamserver.properties" required="false"

First, This issue has been resolved. Thanks to Matt Lavin for quick resolution.

Root Cause:
"Application Security" option was turn-off in WebSphere Application Server security page. This option was overlooked when configuring WAS secure administration.

Resolution:
"Application Security" option is turn-on/enabled. Additionally, set "jazz.war" web application's security role to user/groups mapping. If user/groups mapping is not set, then ldap's JazzAdmin group users may not able to login to jazz admin page.
