Sign in Failure with SIM 5.0

My SIM 5.0 install was working fine yesterday. but now When I try to sign in, I get a sign in failure and the address URL ends up being. https://crux:50000/j_security_check

I can't find any flags in the windows logs on the SIM server or Dbase Server that give me any clues.

Any ideas?
Be Patient, I'm reloading.

Re: Sign in Failure with SIM 5.0

I seem to be seeing the same or similar issue today, although this is a new SIM box that was just brought up in a new building on Wednesday and, as far as I know, no one has accessed it since. The box WAS working last week when it was in my office though. I don't seem to ever get an error - or I haven't waited long enough. I'm stuck at the login screen.

Re: Sign in Failure with SIM 5.0

Not sure what this was still, but after a "mxstop" and a "mxstart" everything started working again. This may also have been related to how I specified my Windows login account on the SIM login page. I believe I had been entering id, password, and domain earlier. Now logging in with "domain\id" in the id field and leaving the domain field blank seems to work.

Try directly browsing to SIM by typing https://hostname:50000 in the browser's address bar.
Do not use 'favorites' to browse to SIM.

Good Luck!

Re: Sign in Failure with SIM 5.0

My SIM 5.0 was also working fine before december 16th. But, now I cant't log in, because of the same sign-in failure. HP system Management Homepage still allows me to log in.

I have:

* Cleared Internet explorers cache, history, etc..
* Used mxstop/mxstart
* Tryed username format: domain\username
* Browsed https://hostname:50000 by typing it directly in the address bar

I haven't found anything, that could help to solve the problem from Windows- or SIM-logs. More Ideas?

Re: Sign in Failure with SIM 5.0

I found out, in my case, it was actually the SQL server had network problems some dbases were up, but some were down, SIM being one of them

Re: Sign in Failure with SIM 5.0

I'm still struggling with the problem.
Test connection to SQL-instance was successfully.

Thanks for the tip, though.

Re: Sign in Failure with SIM 5.0

I'm having the same problem with SIM 5.0 with the hotfix (2.0) applied: We cannot log into SIM with the same symptoms described above. We've tried the suggested fixes:

* Cleared Internet explorers cache, history, etc..
* Used mxstop/mxstart
* Tryed username format: domain\username
* Browsed https://hostname:50000 by typing it directly in the address bar

No dice.

Just wanted to add my voice to this problem.

[We had a similar problem before when we had changed the administrator password (from what is was when SIM was installed) but we've not changed the password and have changed the SIM configuration to not use this account.]

Re: Sign in Failure with SIM 5.0

We're another site with the same problem. Started about the same time and initially thought it might have been that week's MS patches but after uninstalling those the problem still persists. Tried reinstalling the SP2 release over the top of SIM 5 but that hasn't helped either.
Email notifications have stopped too although I can log on to the Management console locally and confirm the IDs set up on the box. It looks like it might have something to do with cross domain authentication - but that's just a guess.

Re: Sign in Failure with SIM 5.0

I have the same issue with SIM 5.0 and W2K3 server. I initally thought this was a database issue and found the SIM database have consumed 40GB of disk space on the SQL box however changing the DB recovery model to simple and flushing the transaction log file fixed the disk space issue but not the sign-in error. I have also noticed the process 'mxdomainmgr.exe' is using high amounts of memory. After the SIM server is rebooted all is good for a few days then the console slows down and eventually the sign-in error returns.

I'm now waiting for SIM SP3 (I've heard this is due in about 2 weeks).

Again, just adding my voice to this issue.

Re: Sign in Failure with SIM 5.0

We have the same problem.
Just before this problem we had another.
When automatic event handle task couldn't be created from some accounts.
Other accounts where able. All had same rights.

Re: Sign in Failure with SIM 5.0

I gave up and completely reinstalled SIM Sp2. Worked fine for three weeks until yesterday - ALL my systems have vanished! (Just trolling the forum for other instances of this but had to check this thread to see if anyone had found a solution yet)

Re: Sign in Failure with SIM 5.0

We ended up having to completely uninstall SIM, remove folders under program files, delete the database from MSDE (using SQL tools), and then reinstall (we reinstalled the sp3 version since we were going thru all this.) nothing else we (the HP support pro and I) tried would fix this sign on failure issue.

Re: Sign in Failure with SIM 5.0

Update:
We still cannot login to SIM5.0
The services are running and seem to be collecting data, etc.

Logged into the server as an administrator:

When I run mxuser -l, I get a generic error message:

"There was a problem connecting to the HP Systems Insight Manager Server. Make sure that: bla bla"

Using the command line utility mxpassword -l, I only see one result--the MxSshKeyPassword = xxx entry.

This has been going on since mid Dec, shortly after I applied the hotfix. I'm not prepaired to reinstall. Do you think calling HP would be viable?

Re: Sign in Failure with SIM 5.0

Maybe try puting your doamin in front of your user name [ie domain\user] that's what i have to do now.

Re: Sign in Failure with SIM 5.0

Have tried that...doesn't help.

One more detail: If I look at the MX.Log, I see entries for each failed login such as:

@!@,2006-01-25 11:15:49 CST,SESSION,FAILURE,LOGIN,USER, (192.168.2.118),WARNING,DOMAIN\Administrator,,,
