  • 1.  Cannot log into SDCSS 6.0 Manager after upgrade from SCSP 5.2.9

    Posted Jun 03, 2014 04:21 PM

    I just did upgraded my test SCSP 5.2.9 Manager and Server to SDCS 6.0. I installed both the Server and Console.

    After completing the upgrade I attempted to log into the console, but I get the following error:

    Login Failed.
    SDCSS could not log you on. Make sure your user name and password are correct, and that your System Administrator has given you permission to use this application

    I then tried to log in with 'symadmin'. I followed the steps to clear the password in the dbo.USR table for 'symadmin'. But I still get the same login failed message.

    What else can I try? I am certain that I have my username and password correct. And the connection information in the server.xml appears to be correct and unchanged from pre-upgrade. I validated that this worked before beginning the upgrade.

    Did you upgrade the console also?  Just wondering if you are sing the older console to log onto the new manager.  We switched to storing the passwords with a salted SHA-256 . . .

    Yes. I did upgrade the Console and Local Agent as well.

    I noticed that my Tomcat logs were complaining about not being able to query "SALT" within the DBO table. Upon looking, there was not a SALT column in the USR table. I added it as nvarchar(256) and then upon the next login attempt it updated the SALT value and PWD value. But still failed to login. I suspect that there are other tables and columns missing because the Tomcat sis-console log shows the following errors:

    Invalid object name 'SVA_ASSET_VW'.

    Invalid object name 'GVM_VW'.

    Is there anything additional that I need to do to update the database? I have:

    1. Re-ran server installer
    2. Verified that the scspdba account is the database owner

    Check the install log in the DCSS directory.  Look to see if the database schema update failed.  Very infrequently, I have seen upgrades that fail to update the database schema.  This can also occur if you do a Tomcat Only install of SCSP.

    If this is a test environment, just reinstall from scratch, as you have already edited the database by adding that column . . . Which support will tell you is a big no-no.
