2512857 - Logon popup while calling transaction CSADMIN

Component: BC-SRV-KPR-CS (SAP Content Server), Version: 4, Released On: 12.10.2021

Symptom
You define a repository within transaction OAC0.
Then the repository should be created on SAP Content Server physically.
Transaction CSADMIN is called and a logon popup appears:

Resolution
During Content Server installation global settings are proposed, for example 'Enable AdminSecurity' / 'Enable Security'.
Enabling this parameter means only members of 'AdminSecurity Group' / 'Security Group' are allowed to customize SAP
Content Server settings, for example to create a new repository physically. That is the reason for the logon popup you
will get while calling transaction CSADMIN.
Enter appropriate logon credentials into logon popup. If the user entered into this popup is not a member
of 'AdminSecurity Group' / 'Security Group' an error 'HTTP error: 401' appears.
In the content server configuration file, you can change parameter AdminSecurity to have value 0 then then pop-up will
no longer come when accessing CSADMIN.
