Error Message

[#160005] Authentication failed: User id not found or password was incorrectly typed. Please contact your Clearwell administrator for assistance.

Scenario 1:

For a system where the encrypted LDAP password was previously configured (using esa.ldap.connectionPassword.enc)
  1. Login in to eDiscovery Platform as superuser or another System Manager user.
  2. Go to System > Support Features.
  3. Choose Property Browser from the dropdown menu and clear the values for esa.ldap.connectionPassword.enc:
    1. Name of property to change: esa.ldap.connectionPassword.enc
    2. New value: leave blank
    3. Check the box for Confirm change
    4. Click Submit
  4. Add the clear-text password to the esa.ldap.connectionPassword setting:
    1. Name of property to change: esa.ldap.connectionPassword
    2. New value: enter clear-text password
    3. Check the box for Confirm change
    4. Click Submit
  5. Validate with LDAP login to eDiscovery Platform. 

Scenario 2:

For a system where the cleartext LDAP password was previously configured (using esa.ldap.connectionPassword)
  1. Login in to eDiscovery Platform as superuser or another System Manager user.
  2. Go to System > Support Features.
  3. Add the clear-text password to the esa.ldap.connectionPassword setting:
    1. Name of property to change: esa.ldap.connectionPassword
    2. New value: enter clear-text password
    3. Check the box for Confirm change
    4. Click Submit
  4. Validate with LDAP login to eDiscovery Platform

Cause

  • As of eDiscovery Platform 8.2, the LDAP authentication password needs to be set through the System Support Features Property Browser, using the esa.ldap.connectionPassword setting. The user will enter a cleartext password that system will encrypt and store.
  • The previously used esa.ldap.connectionPassword.enc setting is now ignored. In this scenario, the esa.ldap.connectionPassword setting will now be entered and encrypted automatically.
Important: LDAP login may fail when both settings are configured.
  • Post-upgrade configuration requires the use of Property Browser from System > Support Features as described in the Solutions below.
  • To set up a new LDAP configuration, you must use System > Support Features. See Article 000115760 

Resolution

**NOTE** Due to LDAP not working, a local account such as the default "superuser" account will need to be used to login to the eDP user interface to perform either of the solutions below.
