Issue:
Analytics Server installation fails if Admin Console and IDP installed on same server. In this case Admin Console will use port 2443 and IDP will use port 8443.
Error Message ->
Enter the Access Manager Administration Console user ID [admin]:
Enter the Access Manager Administration Console password []:
Re-enter the password for verification []:
############## ERROR !!! ###############
The credentials provided couldn't be validated against admin.
If the authentication fails many times, the user account will be locked temporarily.
Ensure that you give the correct user ID and password.
Please Try Again
Reason:
During installation Analytics Server makes a rest call to Admin Console to get the Cluster Information. The request is by default using 8443 port.
Installation using -x option will show the reason:
#sh -x ar_install.sh
+ validateRemotePassword admin novell x.x.x.x
+ NAMHOSTURL=https://x.x.x.x:8443
+ NAMADMIN=admin
+ NAMPASS=****
++ curl -s -k -i -X GET -u admin:**** https://x.x.x.x:8443/nps/rest/clusters/ -H cache-control:no-cache -H content-type:application/json
++ grep HTTP
As Admin Console is not running on 8443 the above request will fail.
Workaround:
Go to script ar_install.sh and change the value of port to Admin Console port.
validateRemotePassword()
{
NAMHOSTURL=https://"$3":8443 --> Change it to 2443.
NAMADMIN="$1"
NAMPASS="$2"
STATUS=`curl -s -k -i -X GET -u $NAMADMIN:$NAMPASS $NAMHOSTURL/nps/rest/clusters/ -H 'cache-control:no-cache' -H 'content-type:application/json' | grep HTTP | cut -d ' ' -f2`
if [ "$STATUS" == 200 ]
then
LOGIN_OK=0
echo "Authenticated.. do the rest of the job!" >> "${RA_INSTALL_LOG}"
else
echo "Please check the credentials which you have entered" >> "${RA_INSTALL_LOG}"
fi
}
