        <SOI Install Folder>\SamUI\lib\soi.common.sam-4.2.0-ui.jar
        <SOI Install Folder>\SamUI\webapps\sam\lib\soi.common.sam-4.2.0-oneclick.jar
    
    b. In SOI Manager machine
        <SOI Install Folder>\tomcat\lib\soi.common.sam-4.2.0-manager.jar

3. Copy the new files from the extracted zip file as below:
    a. In UI Server machines 
        <SOI Install Folder>\SamUI\lib\soi.common.sam-4.2.0-ui.jar
        <SOI Install Folder>\SamUI\webapps\sam\lib\soi.common.sam-4.2.0-oneclick.jar
    b. In SOI Manager machine
        <SOI Install Folder>\tomcat\lib\soi.common.sam-4.2.0-manager.jar

4. Update the file eem-config.xml to include the below tag after password tag, the below value sets session timeout to 1 day
    a. In UI Server machines at <SOI Install Folder>\SamUI\webapps\sam\eem-config.xml     
        <sessionTimeout>86400</sessionTimeout>
    b. In SOI Manager machine at <SOI Install Folder>\tomcat\webapps\sam\eem-config.xml
        <sessionTimeout>86400</sessionTimeout>

5. Add the below entry in <SOI Install Folder>\jsw\conf\soi-user-interface.conf file in UI Server machine after line containing string wrapper.java.additional.23:
    wrapper.java.additional.27=-Dsoi.eemsso.debug=on

6. Add the below entries in <SOI Install Folder>\SamUI\lib\log4j2.xml file:
        <Logger name="com.aprisma.spectrum.app.sso" level="DEBUG">
            <AppenderRef ref="SAMDEBUG" />
        </Logger>
        <Logger name="com.ca.sam.dashboard.resourcemanager" level="DEBUG">
            <AppenderRef ref="SAMDEBUG" />
        </Logger>  
7. Start SOI Services

8. Verify the issue once the Services are up and running

 

 

 

NOTE: ensure that all three timeout are in sync to avoid any conflict: 

•  The sessionTimeout value at SOI side (as part of eem-config.xml)
•  Cache Update Time under Session Configuration on EEM side
•  CredentialLifeTime setting in the iAuthority.conf
