Bridge - "Error: Cannot validate NOAH User"
Issue: Error message: "Cannot validate Noah User"
Root Cause: The Noah clientsettings.xml configuration file is not valid. The server name in this file is not set to “localhost”. As a result,
Noah will attempt to connect to a Noah network server if this parameter is not
set to “localhost”. You can navigate to C:\ProgramData\HIMSA\Noah then open Clientsettings.xml
Search
"ServerName" inside ClientSettings.xml and check the value of line
<Data xsi:type="xsd:string"> </Data> is not set to
localhost, this would likely cause the error "Can not validate Noah
User".
.
Solution: When using a Noah OMS system like Bridge, this must be set to
“localhost”. Changing this parameter to “localhost” should resolve the problem. To change this you need to navigate to C:\ProgramData\HIMSA\Noah then open Clientsettings.xml
Search
for the ServerName inside ClientSettings.xml and change the value of
line <Data xsi:type="xsd:string">localhost</Data> to
localhost.
