Just create a file with name as auth.properties(file extension should be .properties) and place it under WT_HOME/codebase folder. Within the file specify the admin user in the following format

auth=admin_user:auth_password. Example, if admin user is wcadmin and password is wcadmin following will be the format

auth=wcadmin:wcadmin

Restart the worker and initiate the publishing again.

Hope that helps.

Usually something to do with your auth.properties not being setup correctly.

Your help will be highly appreciated.

Hi Syed,

  • Thank you very much for the solution. The auth.properties files was missing. It works but in M040 if we put in the codebase it doesn't work, we have to put it the WT_Home folder.

For this kind of stuff, its always a good idea to search the PTC Knowledgebase as there can be new information or methods. If you just put in auth.properties it will show you what you need to know. There is also a method on how to encrypt this file too (important as it stores a critical password).

Thanks a lot. The knowledge base contains a document for this.

Regards
