External Submission Failure

Post by topcats » Mon Oct 23, 2017 8:34 am

Hi there

Using
https://########.####/VaultPro/External/AddItemExternal.aspx?pid=###

Is failing for me.
It works fine if the user is already signed in.
But not if a public user.

Vault Professional server is version 10.0.0.30736

Any ideas?

Thanks

Ignore the first response. I misread.

Check the Vault Server Log for errors at the time you tried to access the AddExternalItem. Any errors?

Can you try a different browser? What are the results there?

What happens if you try the URL right on the server?

I set the logs to debug, but it would appear the setting is not changing

From the vaultpro.log

Are you using SSL certificates on the website?

Can you go to the IIS log files in C:\inetpub\logs and look at the logs for your Vault website? At the end of each line are 3 numbers that say what is happening. The number 200 0 0 means a success. What other series of numbers around the time of the action do you get?

Do you have the external users path set as allowed in web.config in the VaultPro folder of the website? It would look something like.

Code: Select all

<location path="External">
    <system.web>
      <authorization>
        <allow users="*"/>
      </authorization>
    </system.web>
  </location>

Click on the repository name in the Vault admin web page and look at the check boxes again. It was found that you could turn it on, get the link, then turn it off and then the link would give the same kind of error. The check box has to remain checked.

ok to double check that it is not a problem with my install or historical upgrades

I just spun up a new test machine SQL/IIS box.
did a fresh clean install, and the same problem.

any ideas.

i managed to get some slightly deaper debugs and its somewhere crashing around the listrepos bit.
why its listing the repos for projects i'm not sure

I think we found a bug here. I have pulled in the developers on this, and will post back when I know more.

We think we found the root cause, and will have something soon. We will be testing it internally first. If you send an email to support at sourcegear.com with a link to this thread, I can then send a beta to you when it's ready.
