Issue
Today, it was the BizTalk admin console trying to play with me, when I opened the admin console, found that am not connected to any BizTalk group.
Seeing this, I tried to join the existing group:
Verify that Enterprise Single Sign On Service is running, Run->Services.msc->Enterprise Single Sign On and check if status is Started
Seeing this, I tried to join the existing group:
1. Right click the BizTalk Server Admininstration
2. Connect to existing group
3. Provided the Server name and Database name
4. And clicked ok
5. Got couple of following error
6. When trying to refresh the BizTalk Group Node
7.As expected while trying to restart host instance, following error was popped out:
Why it happened:
There are few scenarios where we can face such errors:
- Enterprise Single sign on is not installed correctly
- Enterprise Single sign on in not configured properly/correctly
- Enterprise Single Sign on service is not running(not started)
What to do:
"Enterprise Single Sign-On Service" gets installed while installation of
BizTalk and it is there we have to specify the user account name, under
which this service will run. That user account should have
administrative privileges on the machine else SSO service will not start. And It is mandatory to have as all the configurations are stored in it.
In my case it was the change in the password (which was part of company policy) which made this service stop and group unavailable. So I needed to reset the credentials for this service.
For that
For that
1. Right click
3. Update the credentials
4. Click ok
5.Start the service
