Coveo reindex error: The parameter 'p_Communication' must not be null

I was getting the following error when try to re-index Coveo in a new environment.
The parameter 'p_Communication' must not be null

This was fixed by setting the Sitecore username/password needed for communication between Coveo and Sitecore. You can do this by going to the Control panel in Sitecore. Under the Coveo search section, click on "Configuration" and then the "Configure" button under the Sitecore Credentials heading.

Coveo reindex communication error

This is not an issue in a lower environment like your local since Coveo uses the default admin b password to authenticate. But this becomes an issue in any higher environment that doesn't use the default admin password. Hope this helps someone else.

Back-End and Front-End Development in Sitecore XM Cloud

By
  Understanding the Roles In Sitecore XM Cloud, back-end developers primarily manage content models, custom APIs, and data within the Sitecore CMS backend.

Adding Entra ID Auth to a Blazor App

By
I wanted to take the time to write up this article since I found it useful when working on Blazor Apps. Althought this is not Sitecore related, I think it will be useful if we need to build an admin .NET portal. Additionally most organizations already have Entra ID if they use Microsoft apps and building Entra ID Authentication wont add costs like other Authentication methods would. To get started make sure the following packages are available (using NuGet) in your solution. Microsoft.Identity.Web Microsoft.Identity.Web.UI Azure.Security In your Program.cs file, add the following using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.OpenIdConnect; using Microsoft.Identity.Web; using Microsoft.Identity.Web.UI; // Add Microsoft Entra ID authentication builder.Services.AddAuthentication(OpenIdConnectDefaults.AuthenticationScheme) .AddMicrosoftIdentityWebApp(builder.Configuration.GetSection("AzureAd")); builder.Services.AddAuthorization(options => { options.FallbackPo...

Sitecore: Get list of logged in users

By
I had a deployment today and wanted to find a list of users who were logged into the Sitecore admin site. This was mainly so that I can contact them and let them know that a deployment was going to happen. I found the following link very useful as it gave me exactly what I was looking for. A list of users that were logged in and I contacted them. It also has the ability to Kick off users! http://{YourWebsite}/sitecore/client/Applications/LicenseOptions/KickUser Note: You can only see other users in this list if you have the right administrator permission. Logging in with a lower access level user only gave me the logged in user and no one else on the list.
