Dominik Stadler commented on JS2-1129:
--------------------------------------

Similar with other types of exceptions, if I get "SSOException: The site could 
not be created because a site with the same name exists." in the code, I still 
only see the "Could not add..." error message which is incorrect in this case 
as well.

> JetSpeed hides error if values in SSO-Portlets are specified too long

> I am trying to use the "SSO Web Content" Portlet to display a website which 
> requires basic authentication. Although all the parameters are specified 
> correctly, I get the error "Could not add remote user: portal principal admin 
> is already associated with a remote user for this site!" displayed when I 
> save the portlet configuration.
> I found out that actually there is a SQL Exception during writing the 
> configuration, but the code just prints out this incorrect error message. 
> Also log-output does not contain any hint of the actual problem.
> Doing some tracing, I found that the problem is caused by the following 
> commit: 
> http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/portals-jetspeed-dev/200905.mbox/%[email protected]%3e
> Look at SSOWebContentPortlet.java, line 194: The change replaces the "throw" 
> of the actual exception with the dumb error message which effectively hides 
> the actual cause in this case. In my case the error was "Unexpected security 
> error at JetspeedSecurityPersistenceManager from addDomain: OJB operation; 
> SQL []; A truncation error was encountered trying to shrink VARCHAR 
> 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' to length 30.; nested exception is 
> java.sql.SQLDataException: A truncation error was encountered trying to 
> shrink VARCHAR 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' to 
> length 30.
> Please adjust the error-check here to only report the error text if this is 
> the actual cause and report the actual error otherwise.
