Issue/Introduction

Even we are sure on the password of contact, we may have an error on the authentication page.

Logon to ServiceDesk immediately after the startup may fails. We got the error AHD04043:The user name or password you entered is not correct. Please try again.

Environment

Service Desk Manager - 17.x

Resolution

Please verify if the problem is with EEM not available:

1. Verify if you have EEM integrated

NX.env would contains:

@NX_USE_EIAM_AUTHENTICATION=Yes

2. Verify these two services are running on EEM server:

- CA iTechnology iGateway 4.7
- CA Directory - itechpoz

3. If EEM is up, check if EEM server is reachable.

To make sure EEM available when ServiceDesk will be started, we could start the EEM service in automatic mode and ServiceDesk service "automatic delayed"
