Symptom

  • Unable to login with SAP users after upgrade
  • Unable to perform SAP SSO on reports after an patch upgrade
  • Roles and users not updating after a patch update 
  • Receiving errors on role update in the CMC after an upgrade
  • Receive error like "Failed while trying to log on to SAP system. The following RFC error was returned: The entitlement system has been disabled in memory. This may be because the SAP system is unavailable or because the credentials are invalid. The entitlement system has to be re-enabled before it can be used again."
  • Logs taken from BW have indicated the entitlement account is sending both a correct and incorrect password.
    'Password check failed for user entitlementuser in client ###
    RFC/CPIC logon failed, reason=1, type=R, method=P
    Password check failed for user entitlementuser in client ###
    RFC/CPIC logon successful (type=R, method=P )'

  • com.sap.conn.jco.JCoException: (103) JCO_ERROR_LOGON_FAILURE: Password logon no longer possible – too many failed attempts on
  • Webi reports with Bics connection fail on refresh with error: Resource is not reachable: "Failed to connect to the OLAP source.:Unexpected exception while calling the SL Service"
