SMP 3.0 Service Manager 4.1: USER_AUTH_GROUP does not work

[Former Member]

Hello,

I'm trying to switch the backend connectivity for SMP 3.0 Service Manager 4.1 from USER_AUTH  to USER_AUTH_GROUP using new installation.

Using USER_AUTH, the connection does work, but when using USER_AUTH_GROUP, we get this error:

15:22:47 08/28/2014: Exception: 15:22:47 08/28/2014 : 20 (Agentry3), JavaBackEndError (JAVA EXCEPTION CAUGHT: com.syclo.agentry.AgentryException: JCO_ERROR_COMMUNICATION Connect to message server host failed), Connection parameters: TYPE=B DEST=custom_USER_AUTH MSHOST=<servername> R3NAME=<SID> GROUP=RFC-LOGON PCS=1

This is the configuratoin in JavaBE.ini:

[CLIENT_NUM]

CLIENT=010

[SYSTEM_NUM]

SYSNUM=16

...

[LOGON_METHOD]

; USER_AUTH if standard UID/Password authentication is used

; USER_AUTH_GLOBAL if pooled connections using single UID/Password is used

; USER_AUTH_GROUP if UID/Password authentication with SAP Message Server

;   (load balancing) is used

;  USER_AUTH_SSO if SSO2 ticket authentication with SAP Portal Server is used

;  USER_AUTH_CUSTOM for a custom login module setup

LOGON_METHOD=USER_AUTH_GROUP

...

[GROUP_LOGON]

;  referenced when LOGON_METHOD=USER_AUTH_GROUP

;  individual user authentication using an SAP Message Server which distributes

;  client connections among a "group" of SAP application servers based on load

;  balancing criteria

;

UID=RFC_SMP_<SID>

UPASSWORD=<password>

SHAREDCONNECTION=100

;  host name or IP address of SAP Message Server

MESSAGE_SERVER=<servername>

R3_NAME=<SID>

GROUP_NAME=RFC-LOGON

SYSTEM_ID=<SID>

CLIENT=010

The message server is reachable with all needed ports

Thanks for help

Regards

Frank

Hi,

Have you  maintained values for below variables in JavaBE.ini file ?  Pls check.

MESSAGE_SERVER=<servername>

R3_NAME=<SID>

GROUP_NAME=RFC-LOGON

SYSTEM_ID=<SID>

CLIENT=010

Thanks

Hi Manju,

yes, I maintained this values, but changed it for this discussion.

What I do not understand, what should be the difference between R3_NAME and SYSTEM_ID.

R3_NAME=<SID>

GROUP_NAME=RFC-LOGON

SYSTEM_ID=<SID>

Thanks

As discussed offline, it's also required to update the services file present in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc (For Windows).  This should have an entry like sapmsCRT   3600/tcp (system to port mapping).
