Lotus Connections Profiles - Not Playing Nicely with WebSphere Portal

Whilst working on my WebSphere Portal <-> Lotus Connections integration challenge, I hit upon this exception: -

[9/3/10 12:43:54:087 BST] 000000a5 ServletWrappe E   SRVE0068E: Uncaught exception thrown in one of the service methods of the servlet: /genjsp/lcaccelerator/portlets/profiles/ProfilesPortlet_myNetworkMain.jsp. Exception thrown : java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 400 for URL: https://lc25.uk.ibm.com:9446/profiles/atom/profileService.do

in the SystemOut.log file on the portal server.

When I tried the URL: -

https://lc25.uk.ibm.com:9446/profiles/atom/profileService.do

in a browser window, I received the response: -

CLFRN1172E: The request is invalid

( full details below ).

>From a previous investigation, I know that Connections has a mechanism for retrieving an XML document ( known as a Service Document ) from Profiles using the Atom API via an HTTP request, as documented here: -

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ltscnnct/v2r0/topic/com.ibm.connections.25.help/r_api_prof_get_service_doc.html

I tested the two mechanisms with which I'm most familiar: -

https://lc25.uk.ibm.com:9446/profiles/atom/profileService.do?email=padmin@uk.ibm.com

and: -

https://lc25.uk.ibm.com:9446/profiles/atom/profileService.do?userid=24dcc5c0-23b2-102f-8265-e965b3598651

This suggests that the portlet isn't sending a valid userid with the HTTP/Atom request.

Given that I'm also seeing: -

[9/4/10 14:42:22:133 BST] 00000071 LTPAServerObj W   SECJ0371W: Validation of the LTPA token failed because the token expired with the following info: Token expiration Date: Fri Sep 03 14:43:45 BST 2010, current Date: Sat Sep 04 14:42:22 BST 2010.

in the SystemOut.log file on the Profiles WAS instance, I'm wondering whether there's an LTPA-related SSO issue between Portal and Connections.

I'm going to regenerate the LTPA token on Portal, import it into Connections, and try again.

Will report back ...
