    Applies to:
  • Legacy SecureAuth IdP
Deployment model:
  • On Premises
  • SecureAuth version affected: All
    Description:

    When attempting to login, Users see the error "Error Retrieving Contact information"

     

     

    Checking the D:\SecureAuth\SecureAuthxx\ErrorLog\Warning.log for the realm reveals the following message

    "ContextUser.GetUser: GetProfileProperties() exception:The settings property 'kba2' was not found."


    Cause:
    A defect means that when switching from "No Data Store" to "Active Directory" datastore, some required entries are missing from the Web.config

    Resolution:

    Although it is possible to add the entries in manually, the safest option is to 

    1. Open the Web Admin Console

    2. Click Tools | Update Web Config

    3. Click Update

    This will go through your realms and add in any missing entries.

    • This defect affects the latest hotfix for 20.06 as well. It seems to cause an interesting scenario where saving the realm configuration from the data tab and allowing it to be "auto-encrypted" will remove the KBA1-3 values back out of the configuration.

      Is there a timeline on a fix?
