TDM Web UI Bug - Connection Profile NTLM/Integrity Security Edit Error

Products

• CA Test Data Manager (Data Finder / Grid Tools)

Issue/Introduction

When editing an existing SQL Server connection profile in the TDM Portal, users encounter the following behavior:

1. Open a connection profile that uses NTLM authentication with the Integrity Security checkbox enabled.
2. Deselect the Integrity security checkbox and then select it again.
3. The authentication options incorrectly shift to Legacy.
4. The Username and Password fields, along with the Integrity Security options, become disabled.

Despite the UI fields being disabled, a "Test Connection" may still report success, indicating the issue is confined to the frontend display logic.

Environment

• Product: CA Test Data Manager (TDM) Portal
• Version: 5.0.x (specifically observed in 5.0.28.0)
• Database: SQL Server
• Authentication: NTLM with Integrated/Integrity Security

Cause

A frontend bug in the TDM Portal's connection profile editor failed to maintain the correct state when toggling security options during an active edit session. This resulted in the UI defaulting to a disabled "Legacy" state.

Resolution

This issue has been resolved in TDM Web patch version 5.0.39.0.

Steps to Apply Fix:

1. Download the TDM Web patch: TDMWeb-5.0.39.0.zip.
2. Stop the CA Test Data Manager Portal service.
3. Navigate to the TDM Portal installation directory (typically %ProgramFiles%\CA\CA Test Data Manager Portal\tomcat\webapps).
4. Replace the existing TDMWeb folder or files with the contents provided in the patch.
5. Restart the CA Test Data Manager Portal service.
6. Verify the fix by editing the connection profile and toggling the Integrity Security checkbox; the fields should now remain enabled and maintain the NTLM selection.
