Issue/Introduction

Unable to log in Performance Management (Portal) console due to user authentication error:

 

Environment

DX NetOps Performance Management: All versions

Resolution

The passwords have expired. For example, you will see warning messages such as the following in the PCService.log file:

WARN  | qtp1485232172-32958      | 2021-06-07 09:55:04,275 | com.ca.im.portal.services.sso.SingleSignOnWsImpl                 

      | Attempted login with expired password: user 'Test_User'

And 

WARN  | qtp1485232172-32937      | 2021-06-07 09:55:30,334 | com.ca.im.portal.services.sso.SingleSignOnWsImpl                 

      | Failed to authenticate user 'Test_User': UserAuthentication - Account not found or password incorrect.

So you need to set the password expiry in the SsoConfig utility so that it either doesn't expire or reset it for the users affected.
