XOG - Unable to login to PPM

[nsateesh]

I am new to XOG. How do I connect to PPM using XOG client?

Usually I access PPM via https://xxxx.ondemand.ca.com and do not enter any username and password. It is SSO enabled. 

 

In this case, how do I login via XOG?

I tried following, but it doesnt work. 

login <emailaddress>/<AD password>@xxxx.ondemand.ca.com:443

 

XOG Invoke Failed
Unexpected end of file from server
Turn verbose on for more detail.

Hi Sateesh,

 

Have you specified -sslenabled true with your command.

 

Here is the documentation with the description of the command parameters:

You would try something like this:

 

xog -sslenabled true

login user/password@servername:port

 

 

Check existing threads on this too:

Hope this helps -Nika

Thanks for quick response Nika.

 

I tried with sslenabled as true. I get following error.

 

XOG Invoke Failed
Login Failed

Uncheck the User External Authentication  and set the password and try using that password for  XOG Login.

[Sridhar Bandaru]

guessing, do you have character @ in the password?

 

EDIT:

Can you try this way?

xog -servername <host> -portnumber <port> -sslenabled true -username <adminuser> -password <password> -input <input_xog_xml> -output <output_xog_xml> 

[Arunprasath Ramachandran]

Agree if you doing XOG Login directly in Command prompt then if you have @Character in the Password you will have an issue in login.

 

[David Morton]

Not sure that XOG is supported for SSO (SSL yes of course ; but thats a completely different thing).

[Deactivated User]

Tend to agree with that. You would need an user ID which does not have external autenthication.

Can you please review this KB Article?

So this error "XOG Invoke Failed" points to the inability of the XOG client to log into PPM. 

 

To validate that if it is your client having problems or the server, I would try an login via SOAPUI.  This will point the problem  to either the server or the client.

 

The XOG login request looks like this:

 

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:obj="http://www.niku.com/xog/Object">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <obj:Login>
         <obj:Username>?</obj:Username>
         <!--Optional:-->
         <obj:Password>?</obj:Password>
         <!--Optional:-->
         <obj:TenantID>?</obj:TenantID>
      </obj:Login>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Thanks for all the replies.

 

I have tried with the options suggested above.

 

1. xog -servername <host> -portnumber <port> -sslenabled true -username <adminuser> -password <password> -input <input_xog_xml> -output <output_xog_xml> 

   XOG Invoke Failed
Login failed.
Turn verbose on for more deta

 

2. Tried with SOAP UI.

Error in the response : CMN-10011: Please enter a valid User Name and Password. Note that the Password is case-sensitiv

 

There could be two issues. Either XOG doesn't support SSO as David mentioned or my user id has '@'.  I cant change the username as it is tied with our AD accounts. 

 

I have raised a ticket with CA. Lets 

[Eugene Greiff]

CA has ids containing @ in our OnDemand system.

 

 

It is most likely the type not being internal.

[Deactivated User]

Yeah, if the ID is an email then it has.

Can those ID's do XOGIng?

[Arunprasath Ramachandran]

Username with @ Character will not cause any issues in XOG Login.

[Deactivated User]

OK thanks, I see it now.

The password@host is separated from the user ID with an /

[Arunprasath Ramachandran]

That's correct.
