Issue/Introduction
Symptoms:
We are running SMARTS, W4N and SSO betwen each product.
In SMARTS, we have only added people in the Global Console and added them in the correct group. No mention in the serverconnect.conf.
In W4N, they are correctly added. Certains Users can connect to Watch4net and see data in Watch4net from SMARTS (topology map, browse, notifications, ...).
Others users get a 403 error indicating that they need to login but do not receive any message or popup.
However, they cannot connect to SMARTS itself using webconsole or Smarts Global Console, they get a login failed.
Environment
VMware Smart Assurance - SMARTS
Resolution
Changing the password in M&R for a particular user will not change it in Smarts. This has to be done manually.
An enhancement request has been submitted for a complete SSO feature within SA Suite.
