Login via Web ok, but fails via Eclipse client
Hello
I have set-up an RTC Express server. I can successfully run through the initial setup wizard, I can also manage the server via the web client.
However, when I try to access the server via the Eclipse client I get an "Invalid user id / password" error.
How can I even start debugging this?
- I can't see anything special in the tomcat log
- The connection is fundamentally ok, because I got the warning about the self-signed certificate the first time I tried to connect.
There is likely no fundamental "first user" error, because this is the Nth time I have installed the server (but the first time on a particular new server machine).
I have installed the server on D:\jazz, and followed the tech note to make it a windows service. But I also made a test via server.startup.bat, and got the same error.
Thanks for any help!

Hello,
If the user has a contributor license, or no license at all granted he could
login to the web ui but can't into the Eclipse UI. You would see a clear
message about the missing license however, once trying to connect to the
server.

Update:
I erased the entire d:\jazz directory, and unzipped again to c:\.
Without a change, I started the server via server.startup.bat
The I did the initial setup via web browser.
Then I tried to connect from the Eclipse client: Same result as
before. I even tried with a different client installation, without
luck.
--> What could cause logon from the web client to succeed, and from
the eclipse client to fail?

Are you connecting to a new database ? If so, does the user exists in the Jazz database ?
Are you using Tomcat User Database or LDAP for authentication ?
When you login thru web ui (https://yourServerName:9443/jazz/admin), the user id is shown in the top right corner. Does it display the user id you used to login to Jazz database ?

I run the initial setup wizard, and as a part of this I create the user. I then later use this user to do things via the Web UI, and yes, the user is correctly shown in the top right corner.
I use the Tomcat user DB.
I have one more update: When I use a completely fresh client installation, I can successfully connect. When I use one of 4 already installed client installations, I cannot (even if I use a new, fresh workspace I get the user id error).
So it seems to be a client-side error.
Trouble is, my main client is RSA 7.5, so I cannot simply do a fresh installation.
So, how do I reset the Jazz-part of the eclipse configuration, without resetting any other parts of RSA? If I can figure this out, maybe then Jazz will work again.
Thanks, Martin

Sorry all, I solved the problem...
All my existing client installations had a web proxy added (under "General", "Network Connections"), and of course a new installation doesn't.
I added an exception for the intranet subdomain where my new server is placed, and now it works.

I don't think that statement is exactly true. A user that has only a
contributor license should still be able to use the Eclipse UI. License
failures will only happen when a user tries to execute an action that
requires one (such as creating an repository workspace).

Hello Matt,
I checked and you are right. I member that I couldn't do that once, but of
course that might have been because of some license/right issues I had and
I just picked up the wrong impression.
Thanks for the clarification
