Unable to login to Alfresco using "admin" (/alfresco/service/api/login?u=admin&pw=admin)

Hello, In a previous post, I was dealing with many problems on my Alfresco-installation. Now most things are working, but I still cannot log in. When I try to login to Alfresco on /share I get the following in my access_log (I have activated most debugging-options on /share):127.0.0.1 - CN=Alfresco

Hi:

I use this command for generating MD4 passwords in Alfresco, for example for user admin and passwd admin too:

$ printf '%s' "admin" | iconv -t utf16le | openssl md4
(stdin)= 209c6174da490caeb422f3fa5a7ae634

Hope it helps.

--C.

Thanks, this gives me:

# printf '%s' "admin" | iconv -t utf16le | openssl md4
(stdin)= 209c6174da490caeb422f3fa5a7ae634

But I can still not login to Alfresco...

Well using the correct database makes things easier.

As I did create a database "alfresco2", I did still change password in "alfresco", so wrong DB. The working hash for "admin" is "209c6174da490caeb422f3fa5a7ae634". Thanks to ‌ for his advice!

After following the following procedure it did work:

mysql> SELECT anp1.node_id,        anp1.qname_id,        anp1.string_value as hash_pass,        anp2.string_value as user_string FROM alf_node_properties anp1         INNER JOIN alf_qname aq1            ON aq1.id       = anp1.qname_id         INNER JOIN alf_node_properties anp2             ON anp2.node_id = anp1.node_id         INNER JOIN alf_qname aq2                        ON aq2.id       = anp2.qname_id WHERE aq1.local_name    = 'password' AND aq2.local_name    = 'username';
