Author BizTalk Deployment Wizard and HTTP ports

Hello All,

I've developed a solution that makes use of an HTTP send port and is configured to communicate to the http site via an internal proxy server. The account that is entered for the internal proxy server settings is a windows domain account. I'd like to exp
ort the bindings and import the bindings in a different environment. I've sucessfully exported the bindings, however when I try to import the bindings in a different environment, It fails and I receive the following error:

Failed updating binding information. BindingException: Could not store transport type data for Primary Transport of Send Port 'MyriadRsRq' to config store. Primary SSO Server 'DEMOAPPSERVER' failed. The property bag contained a VT_NULL value to indicate t
hat the existing property value should be retained, but there is no existing value.

I've looked through the exported bindings.xml file and notice that the account name I use for the proxy server is exported however there is no password exported. I'm assuming this is by design. I'm also thinking that the error message I received is beca
use the deployment wizard is assuming I'm using an sso account that is mapped to a windows account? I'm not using SSO and haven't even looked at what that would take. Am I on the right track? I appreciate any info or advice people may have. Thanks.

The account that is entered for the internal proxy server settings is a
windows domain account. I'd like to export the bindings and import the
bindings in a different environment. I've sucessfully exported the
bindings, however when I try to import the bindings in a different
environment, It fails and I receive the following error:

Yes this is by design. Such sensitive data like passwords is securly stored
in the SSO engine, BizTalk does not allow you to export this kind of things.
the SSO refers to the secure storage rather then a mapping between accounts
in this case.

I'm also thinking that the error message I received is because the
deployment wizard is assuming I'm using an sso account that is mapped to a
windows account? I'm not using SSO and haven't even looked at what that
would take. Am I on the right track? I appreciate any info or advice
people may have. Thanks.

Christof what you said makes sense. However, in looking at the settings for HTTP Transport in the Authentication Tab, it seems that SSO can be used for the Creditials for example if I was planning on authenticating to a website. If set SSO here, will i
t also be used for the Proxy settings? Ideally I'd like to use anonymous authentication and SSO for the proxy settings. Thanks again for you prompt reply.

Should look this up, although I guess this has nothing to do with the proxy
but rather with the credentialset when doing the actual HTTP request.

You probably have found that If you remove the empty user name and password
nodes in the xml, they will deploy correctly.

SSODB is secure, encrypted db. We use that to store all configuration
informations using SSO infrastructure. SSO itself as you see in the
property pages of HTTP send, is for single sign on integration. It is not
related to secure storage of configuration data.

Hope this helps. Thanks!
