Problem

User logs on to the rich tier server. User launches TM1 Architect, and tries to log on to their instance.
  • They do this using a 'Native' (non-IBMID) user (for example 'Admin').
An error appears.

CSIAH0302E The configuration for the basic LDAP user authentication mechanism is missing or invalid
Time: xxxx
Request address: /authsvc/mtfim/sps/authsvc
Error details: Contact our help desk to report this issue.

Cause

Both of the following are true:
  • The Planning Analytics (TM1) instance (also known as server / database) is configured (inside its TM1s.cfg configuration file) to use the default/normal setting "IntegratedSecurityMode=5" (which means it uses IBMID log on, not 'native' log on).
  • The user is trying to log on with a native user (for example 'Admin') not an IBMID user.

Resolving The Problem

Log on to the Planning Analytics instance that uses an IBMID user.
