Problem to Login to Project Portfolio Server 2007 after installati

E

EPMNovice

Hello,

I am facing a unique problem. I recently downloaded & installed the
evaluation version of MS Project Portfolio Server 2007 on SQL Server 2005.
Installation went well, however, I am not able to login using any of the
standard user Ids.

I have tried logging in using the windows ID which I have used for
installing the PPS (as mentioned in the installation guide). Login fails with
error message "You have entered an incorrect user name/password combination."
I have also tried without any password and received same error.

When I checked the dbo.SfUsers table, for default administor ID I can see
the password as "Invalid pass, uses Integrated Auth".

Pls. let me know how I can login to the tool first time after installation.

Thanks.

Hi EPM Novice,

when you say that you are trying to loggon with the user, which user are you
using? is it the same user that you are logged on with on your desktop?

I assume that you have windows authentication and not forms authentication.
Is this correct?

EPMNovice,

I suffered the same problem and just had support from Microsoft on this
problem to solve it. Here is what we went through...maybe it will help you:

1) In SQL Server Enterprise Manager, open up PPSAccountData. Right mouse
click and "Open Table" on dbo.sfUsers table.
2) Check the name in the "Name" field. That should be the name that you
are logging in with. For example, it may be something like <domain>/<userid>
3) You said that in the Password field it says "Invalid pass, uses
Integrated authentication"...that's fine
4) Now, in your filesystem, find your web.config file. Mine is in
c:\inetpub\PortfolioServer yours may be somewhat different depending on how
you did the install.
5) Make a copy of the web.config file someplace safe in case this doesn't
work
6) Open the web.config file in Notepad
7) Find the place in the web.config file where it says: <add
key="AccountID" value="-1"/> ...at least mine said "-1" ...I don't know if
that's what others see
8) change the "-1" to a "1" to look like this: <add key="AccountID"
value="1"/>
9) save and close web.config
10) do an iisreset
11) close previous browsers; open a new one
12) when you get the network prompt, login with the userid that was in the
SQL Server table noted above

When I did this it took me right into Portfolio Server...it did not take me
to the PPS application login screen. Oddly, if I later navigated back to
that screen and try to login there, it still gives the same error, so the
right thing to do is login using the network prompt.

Hope that helps!

Hello,

I have exactly the same problem. Only in my configuration the value is
already 1 within the <add key="AccountID" value="1"> line.

Does somebody have other suggestions ?

Thanks.

Hello,

I am also facing the same problem, i have refered so many web sites
and Blog's for this login problem, but i am unable to find any proper
solution for the above mentioned issue.

If i try to browse the portfolio server web site in ISS I am able to see
some configuration options.
Only user configuration option is active, remaining configuration options
are inactive by default.(freezed). I am using my DOMIN ADMINISTRATOR Account
for MSOPPS-2007 Configuration.

My setup is stand alone (MSOPs-2007, sql sp2-2005, MOPPS-2007)

Kindly get back to me for further clarifications.

Thanks in Advance.

I recieved the login errror when i tried to log in with the IP address http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xx/PortfolioServer. However, I was able to log into Project Portfolio Server when I tried to access via the http://servername:port#/PortfolioServer. After I logging in I created the Admin user and edited the PPS website via IIS manager to the IP address and now everything is working.
