Adapter Authentication Problems

Some common authentication problems include

• Missing authentication properties

  You must include a property name for the specified DataSource type in the set of names output in the trace.

• An Identity Manager user is missing a matching resource account

  If authentication succeeds for the resource adapter, but an exception occurs indicating that no Identity Manager user could be found with a matching resource account ID, be sure that the resource accountId associated with the user is the same as the accountId returned by your resource adapter’s authenticate method.

  To verify the Identity Manager user’s resource accountId, review Identity Manager’s Edit Trace Configuration page (debug/Show_Trace.jsp). If a mismatch exists, change the content of the name being returned by your authenticate method or change your resource’s ID template. The template must generate a resource accountId that matches the accountId being returned by the authenticate method.
