ALM octane login issue
Hi,
We have deployed ALM octane 12.60 CP8 with MS SQL Server 2014 and Elastic search 5.6.5
I am getting message "server is ready". I am able to launch ALM octane portal (http://servername:8080/ui)., However, i am not able to login to ALM Octane. When i enter the username and password, the portal does not logon.. if i enter wrong password, i get error "Invalid Authentication".
Kindly note, i am able to login from the ALM octane server using localhost. (http://localhost:8080/ui)
Below are some errors from the logs

Hi,
What is the URL of your octane server?
If you installed octane on public cloud like AWS or AZURE there is some limitation that octane currently have related to possible URLs.
We have a workaround for this issue. I will send it once I see that it is related to your issue.
Regards,
Ziv

Many thanks. Please ignore the previous error details.
Issue:-
While deploying ALM Octane, In Setup.xml, i created a dummy user as Octane administrator. Now i like to change the username? I see octane user enteries are made in database. How do i change the Octane administrator username and password?
We like to integrate LDAP in ALM Octane. Does the ALM Octane Administrator password requirements should match the ADFS account.

Hi,
For internal authentication user
User details can be modified by the workspace\sharedspace administrator user via the user settings UI. For a logged in user, its own password can be changed from user profile --> change password.
To switch to LDAP authentication
Octane siteAdmin user should be a real user in the configured LDAP server.
This requires:
1. If the existing siteAdmin user in Octane is not a real LDAP user, it is possible to update setup.xml file with a real LDAP user.. This user will be created in Octane DB on restart.
2. Setting the 'adminDn' field in octane.yml file under the 'ldap' section with the siteAdmin user LDAP dn value
Octane should be restarted after applying these changes..
Regards.,
Ziv
