Alfresco&JBoss bundle, can't login as admin/admin

[praveen]

I installed Tomcat&Alfresco bundle on Radhat linux and followed the installation instructions in the release notes. Then  I went to the URL http://hostname:8080/alfresco. I could able to login as admin/admin. Then crated users, logged as newly created user. Tested checkin and checkoutetc.

Then I shutdown the alfresco.

Installed the jboss/alfresco bundle on the same machine according to the Release Notes instructions.
I could go the portal. Clicked on Alfresco tab. Tried to login as admin/admin But it is now allowing me to login.
Please let me know what is wrong here.

the version 1.2
Thanks,

Iam sorry there is a typo there.
I meant to say its not allowing me to login.

This seems to be a problem with your content store and database being out of sync.

If this is a fresh installation try to wipe out the database and the content store (e.g. alf_data) and start JBoss. Alfresco will create a new content store and will populate the database with the needed data. The JBoss/Alfresco bundle comes with sql files that do that for you:

- db_remove.sql (drops the alfresco database)
- db_setup.sql (creates the alfresco database and user)

It's also a good idea to put your content store/indexes in a static location (e.g. /srv/alfresco/data on Linux or C:\alfresco\data on Windows). That way you're sure you're always using the same content store/indexes no matter where your Alfresco deployment resides on the file system.

I have just installed alfresco 1.2.1 war file under Jboss and no way to login.
I use:
Oracle 10g
jboss 4.0.3SP1
Every time I try to login I get this error on Firefox

javax.faces.FacesException: Error calling action method of component with id loginForm:submit

caused by:
javax.faces.el.EvaluationException: Exception while invoking expression #{LoginBean.login}

caused by:
java.lang.NullPointerException
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

and this one in log file:

2006-05-21 14:08:13,218 DEBUG [org.alfresco.passthru.auth] Authenticate user=admin via local credentials

I have delete jboss alf_data directory and oracle user alfresco serveral times and no way: alfresco remakes them again and same error…
Any idea?

Are you using the Alfresco/JBoss bundle from the Alfresco website or are you deploying a standalone WAR into a JBoss installation of your own?

If you are deploying the WAR into a preexisting JBoss, where did you get the WAR from?

1. Standalone
2. I got it from sourceforge, of course!

Hi,

Are you using NTLM authentication, and if so are you logging in using an NTLM authorised user (admin/admin won't work here unless you have a matching user in your NTLM server)?

Are you using NTLM authentication, and if so are you logging in using an NTLM authorised user (admin/admin won't work here unless you have a matching user in your NTLM server)?

I had this same issue:  solved it by adding usernames of adminstrative staff to adminUsers property of overridden authorityService bean configuration.  After restart, those users had same privileges as 'admin' after logging in via NTLM.
