hi,

We try to setup LBI authentication against ADAM.
We use advanced ldap/msad settings.

Our ADAM contains groups and members for example G_LBIAdmins.
After making the changes in the configurationAssistant, we restart IBM websphere. 
The next step is to do an Authentication test in the InstallValidator.
But we never pass this test.
Always the same error :
(security:3004) Login failed. The userid or password entered is not valid, or the specified user does not have access to this application

The userId is a member of the administrative role.

Had anyone the same experience and a solution for this ?

Thx.

What is set up in the configuration assitant? We have had this running for years and added DSSO configuration so users in Lawson don't have to re-sign into LBI.

Ours is set up to Lawson Single Sign On, I believe your should be set to just LDAP but the options here is where we ran into some issues in the past.

We use LBI with M3.
We have no DSSO, no single sign on.
In the install validator I have chosen MS Active Directory.
Also tried LDAP, with no success

Are you trying to use the same password that you use for Lawson? If so, then if you install DSSO, it should work. We have dsso installed, but our Lawson portal uses our active directory for authentication, so LBI goes through Lawson security (on ADAM) which is bound to our AD for the password.

Some progress made.
Interesting information found on mylawson.com at the GetSupport/HotTopics
LBI authentication and configuration with M3 systems.
this is the link to the presentation, but there is als a webex.
http://www.lawson.com/www..._with_M3_systems.pdf

At this moment Users and Roles are synchronised from our ldap ADAM.
But, ...
still not able to logon to LBI or run the InstallationValidator.
(security:3004) Login failed. The userid or password entered is not valid, or the specified user does not have access to this application

Check to make sure the user that you specified (when installing LBI originally) - sysconfig.xml 'Resource Manager User Name' is a member of whichever group you specified in sysconfig.xml for 'LBI User Group'

Finally solved !

The problem was related to ADAM.
The LBI-users needed more authority on the ADAM itself to authenticate.
