Many thanks, SSO has already been disabled and that works okay for connecting to the CMS without SSO,but for some reason I cannot use Templatebuilder and Content Porter and it seem to me they are attempting to use the value in this filed as if we still have SSO enabled. I already checked (TridionContentmanager.confg) and this value was not specified in it.

Unfortunately publishing as DCP did not resolve the issue, but now I get a different error

Let us continue this discussion in chat.

@vinayknl, that was the problem, my password has a $ in it, removing this fixed it. many thanks for your help guys.

But I don't, see my deployer-config.xml in my original post.

@Velmurugan, Just tried that and got the same error, wonder why it can not read the state store even when it is configured.

@Velmurugan, I have updated my post and added my deployer-config.xml,

I have set it up everything else works except Content Porter and Template builder even after excluding them as described in the documentation. The current work around is to have another CMS box that does not use SSO, but this defeats the aim of using SSO in the first place.

My next question then will be is there any documentation around this? Has anyone done this? Can anyone share how they got CP and and template builder working in their own SSO environment?
