Authentication error causes broken queue items
Summary
User has faced the error "Authentication modification permitted via privileged path only - invalid caller" which results in Service queue items acquiring a Broken-Queue status.Error Messages
** Authentication modification permitted via privileged path only - invalid caller: RULE-OBJ-ACTIVITY @BASECLASS MSSERVICEAUTH #20141003T214237.045 GMTSteps to Reproduce
Not Applicable.Root Cause
An issue in the custom application code or rules.
User has their own Custom Authentication activity which actually authenticates the credential for the incoming service request.
This issue was happening due to their own custom Activity. Resolution
Apply HFix-26130.
Changes needs to be done post installing the hotfix:
User is informed to remove the call to setusersecurityprofile API in their custom authentication Activity being used by them.
Reason for post installation changes:
User was using a single hardcoded userid to authenticate the service, and had to specify Authentication Service data record on their service package.
The AUTH service instance would refer to an Activity which constructs an operator page with the hardcoded operator ID.
The service would then run as authenticated, and there would be no need to call setusersecurityprofile API to authenticate.
