TeamSite 6.7 - getClientForTrustedUser fails

TeamSite 6.7
Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition - local users only, no AD

I am unable to get a CSClient using the getClientForTrustedUser method on an upgraded TeamSite 6.7 server from 6.5 SP2. I had only a few users created before and some example content. I ran through the install without any issues and ran iwaccessmigrate after rebooting.

When I run the following code, I get a CSAuthenticationException with a message of Authentication Error for this code:

factory.getClientForTrustedUser( userId, null, Locale.getDefault(), "", null );

Output:
--------------------------
Setting System property for Factory initialization with userId teamsite65\dummy
Property com.interwoven.cssdk.factory.CSFactory set to com.interwoven.cssdk.factory.CSLocalFactory
Factory object obtained as version Version: 2.1.0
------
com.interwoven.cssdk.access.CSAuthenticationException: (Authentication error)
at com.interwoven.cssdk.common.jni.CSOtherJNIServer.beginSessionForTrustedUser(Native Method)
at com.interwoven.cssdk.factory.CSLocalFactory.getClientForTrustedUser(CSLocalFactory.java:128)
at Tester.main(Tester.java:26)
------

If I switch this to either of these lines, everything works:

factory.getClient( userId, null, "password", Locale.getDefault(), "", null );

factory.getClientForCurrentUser( Locale.getDefault(), "", null );

However, the second line doesn't get the correct user, that second parameter is the application context name, which isn't what we are looking for.

I have tried removing the user and adding them back in the admin gui, but that didn't help. I added a new user to the server as well, but that didn't work either.

I tried updating the cssdk.cfg file and switching allowLocalMode to true, but that gave some very strange exceptions when trying to get the CSLocalFactory object with a getFiles method in the WorkflowServices adapter.

What am I missing? Is this method no longer supported in TS 6.7?

Anyone have this working?

finally got an answer on this.

You need to look in the cs sdk docs found in iw-home/cssdk/docs (stupid that I didn't think of this... Smiley Happy

)

You need to set the following property either inside your java code, or in a properties file:

Property Name: cssdk.ssl.key.location
Value: /servletd/conf/ssl_cert

I am not a big fan of having to hard code a platform specific path in for this. It would have been better for Interwoven to take care of this for us, but we will work around setting the path correctly.
