Issue/Introduction

After WebUI / WCC is configured with SSO (NTLM / Siteminder), regular operations seem to work but running any command via ECLI tab gives an error from AutoSys Web Server:

CAUAJM_W_70263 Empty osPassword parameter specified 
StatusCode: 400, URL: https://AutoSys-Web-Server.example.com:9443/AEWS

 

 

Environment

AutoSys Workload Automation

Cause

The way ECLI works is by capturing the user credential (during the login process, from the Login page) and is saved as the Default credential in WebUI's credential tab.

Because Single Sign-On (SSO) is being used to login to WCC, during the sign in process, there is no password that can be captured to be saved as the Default credential above.  That's why the error is generated.

Resolution

• Add a credential (Manage Credentials) with same username and password, as the user logging into WebUI. Save it, Validate it and retest the command via ECLI tab. 
  Note: If the password for this user is changed (on LDAP or some other userstore), then this credential needs to be updated manually again. Otherwise the credentials will be out of sync, resulting in potential lockout of the account.
  
  
• Add a _GLOBAL_  credential to be shared by all WebUI users to perform ECLI operations.
