Apache Tomcat not Starting When SSO enabled in plartform-settings.json

Hi,

 

I'm trying to configure TWX SSO with Okta as IdP, I'm not using ping federate, since TWX can work with a SAML2.0 integration natively.

I have the metadata from Okta and configured the keystore to hold the metadata and certificate.

When I try to start the Apache service, i get the following errors in the application log:

I've searched the support and community and the one thing I found similar says that either I have a typo in the sso-settings.json or the path to the keystore is wrong. 

Both of them I've checked multiple times and it doesn't seem to be wrong.


Any ideas of what could be?

 

Thanks and regards,


Caio

Hi @CaShimiz.

 

Per the case, the following was the solution you found:

 

Changed the group mapping in the SSO Authenticator, and also gave Admin rights to a user by adding it to the user provision exclusion list--effectively bypassing the group mappings.  It was not required to create a user with alias Administrator in the AD/Okta.

 

If you agree that this is the correct solution, please mark this response as the Accepted Solution for the benefit of others with the same issue.

 Hi,

 

Read this article (where is the same Error) - "ThingWorx 9.x active-active High Availability(HA) clustering setup does not start if IGNITE_WORK_DIR is not set on ThingWorx servers": https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/cs331246

HI @VladimirN, not sure what the relation between my issue and the article?

I'm not using HA clustering.

Hi @CaShimiz.

 

Are you sure the keystore is valid?  I'm not sure we can troubleshoot this issue via the community, so I recommend opening a case.  I'm happy to open one on your behalf with your approval to do so.

 

Regards.

Hi @slangley one thing I noticed is I wasn't using the fqdn to open TWX, and I believe without fqdn it won't work. So I'm going to retry that, and confirm if it worked or not here, before opening a case. 

 

Thanks anyway,

Hi @slangley it didn't work. I re-did the process and got the same error. 

 

What do you mean by valid keystore? I created one and added the appropriate certificates to it.

Hi @CaShimiz.

 

Did you follow these instructions for creating the keystore?  This article references using a self-signed certificate, but there is a link for importing a CA-signed certificate once the keystore has been created.

 

If you continue to have issues, we will need to open a case.

 

Regards.

Hi @slangley yes, I followed that procedure and imported the Okta certificate that the customer sent me.

 

I think it'd be good to open a case now.

Hi @CaShimiz.

 

The case has been opened.  You should have received an email containing the case number.
