CPIP Novice Looking for HELP!
Tue, 2008-07-01 15:16 — marlena.brown@s...
I am a novice to CPIP. I have taken sct's squirrel example and tried to mimmick it replacing squirrel with the system I am trying to integrate. I set the configman settings and the properties file. I think I am hung up on the .xml. Not quite sure what I am doing with that. I am getting an error that the "loginuser request failed". When I read my cp.log it says "getResponse failed". If anyone has any suggestions please pass them along!

What are you trying to SSO to?
Hi,
First, what are you trying to SSO into with CPIP? Next, are you trying to CPIP using the pickup.response method or pickup.html?
More info
Thank you for your offers of help...they are very much appreciated! I am trying to SSO into webboard. I'm not sure what you mean by pickup.response or pickup.html. I am trying to replicate based on the template files sct provides. I have an xml file and have set the properties as well. Can you tell me what the pcikup.response and pickup.html are and what they do?
Log files
Take a look also at the log file for GCF. Under Luminis IV it is cpipconnector.log (same directory as cp.log). Additional debugging information can be added by editing $CP_ROOT/webapps/cpipconnector/WEB_INF/config/cpiplog4j.properties.
i would love to help you out..
Hi,
That looks like a very common error. i implemented GCF connector - and like the other gentleman said, i cannot tell you a whole lot until you give me more details about what method are you using - pickup (local , remote) pickup response methods.
Thank you

Squirrel example
S*****d only did training for us on the pickup.response method, so I am 99.9% sure that is what is being used here. That being said I would strongly recommend that you do not use this method - the credentials are sent in cleartext and saved in the brower's history.
A quick rundown:
You have two files you need to edit: the squirrel.properties, and the squirrel.xml file. The properties file determines what is passed to the XML file. The XML file is mostly just plugging in the information and doing some checks to see if you are currently logged in to the squirrel system.
Remember to append the new system to pds.roles.external, add the system to the "$CP_WEBINF/config/cpinfo.properties" file, copy over your icons, add to nested-tables.xml, and remember to bounce the webserver, and the cpip server with each change.
Your best friend right now is the "L*****s Platform Security SDK Campus Pipeline Integration Protocol (CPIP) Specification" manual. I would strongly recommend reading that through several times before you go crazy trying to plug-and-pray changes like I tried to do.
