These errors indicate that the Embedded Service Provider is down. Every Identity Injection policy
has a policy ID, which is sent to the Access Gateway by the Embedded Service Provider. If the
Embedded Service Provider is down, the Access Gateway does not get the policy ID, and an error is
thrown. Restart the Embedded Service Provider from the Administration Console as follows:
1 In the Administration Console, click Devices > Access Gateways.
2 Select the server, then click Actions.
3 Click Service Provider > Restart Service Provider.
4 Click OK.
7.9.2 Identity Injection Failures
Identity injection might fail while trying to inject authentication headers because of improper policy
configuration or because the Identity Server is not sending values to the Access Gateway.

Customer Header Injection Failed.

Authentication Header Injection Failed
To receive help resolving identity injection failures, send the following information to Novell
Support:

7.9.3 Identity Injection Problems When Using a Password
Management Service
If you have configured the Identity Server to use a password management service and you have also
configured resources to use Identity Injection policies that inject the user's password, you need to
enable the following touch file:
/var/novell/.PasswordMgmt
This file causes the Access Gateway to refresh the user's credentials so that they match password
changes. If the file is not enabled and users authenticate and then change their passwords, the Access
Gateway uses the old password in Identity Injection policies.
7.10 Incorrect Health Status Is Reported
The Access Gateway Appliance health is incorrectly reported as green when listener creation fails
and the required port is being used by another service. This is because the service creation status of
the Access Gateway Appliance reflects the status of the open port.
For example, when SSL VPN is installed along with Access Gateway, and port 443 is used by
OpenVPN, the service creation fails if you try to create a service with HTTPS port 443. However,
because the health check is performed on the open port 443, the status is displayed as healthy.
