What credentials are used for DCX?

[VolkerBarth]

I'd like to add a comment on DCX, which I have not done for a while.

Previously, I could use my MySybase credentials to do so. That does not seem to work anymore.

When I'm using my SCN credentials, I'm told by the "SAP ID Service" they are accepted:

"You have now been authenticated. Your request has been forwarded to the target system for processing."

That looks fine to me but when redirected to DCX, I still are not logged in - or at least I still cannot add a comment, and the "Login" button is still shown, and when using it a second time, the SAP ID Service does not ask for credentials but tells me the same message again...

What do I have to do now?

OK, after Mark has noted that the DCX URL should be http://dcx.sap.com, not http://dcx.sybase.com, I guess the mystery has cleared up:

I had used the sybase URL to login in (just because I had stored this link) and was re-directed to the same site but apparently was logged in at the SAP site - and I still am (and so I am able to comment there). That behaviour is astonishing at least:)

I'm gonna update my DCX links - however, if the Sybase-hosted DCX should not be used anymore, please tell us so...

Just more on this issue:

• If I use the DCX links from the v12.0.1 and v16 documentation menues, I'm directed to the SAP-hosted DCX (I guess that was a behaviour change introduced in a newer EBF).
• However, if I use the local help and then follow its DCX link on the page footer, it still links to a page on the Sybase-hosted DCX. - And frankly, that's what I mostly use (often in order to copy those links as part of my contributions here).

So the DCX URL situation seems somewhat unclear to me...

Just as a suggestion:

Given the fact that currently both DCX-sites are available and that the Sybase-hosted DCX may be necessary for the links from the local help (in case a redirection is not possible), it would be nice if a login attempt at the Sybase-hosted DCX would be directed to the SAP-hosted site. (So I would not have noticed that there are indeed two different sites...)
