Issue/Introduction:

 

We're running an AdminUI and when we look for SAML Federation remote entities,
the AdminUI reports error in the browser :

   Entity

   Error: An error occurred while loading
   of the entity list.

How can we fix that ?

 

Cause:

 

The export fails because it hits and un readable object :

When you try to export the Policy Store data, it fails, and the
XPSExport command reports :

And the XPSSweeper tool reports several data corruption in the Policy
Store :

Environment:

AdminUI all versions

Resolution:

 

Run XPSExplorer and fix the following objects :

  - CA.FED::[email protected](mySP1)
    misses so many parameters that the Policy Server cannot read it;

  - Policy Name duplicated "myPolicy-1" :
    CA.SM::[email protected](myPolicy-1)
    CA.SM::[email protected](myPolicy-1)

    Name should be uniques.

  - Object CA.FED::[email protected]
    misses a link attribute value;

  - Object CA.FED::[email protected](mySP1) 
    misses a link attribute value;

  - Object CA.FED::[email protected](myPartnership-1) 
    misses a link attribute value;

  - Object CA.FED::[email protected](mySP1-application)
    misses a link attribute value;
