Alfresco Web Client: Access Denied

[xwu]

I recently do a fresh installation of Alfresco Lab Stable 3.1 version. Alfresco Share runs ok, but the web-client gives more troubles.

As the first login to Alfresco web client might be ok after the restart of Alfresco, the problem is that once I logout, close the web-browser, and try to re-login, I got the following error,

org.alfresco.repo.security.permissions.AccessDeniedException: Access Denied. You do not have the appropriate permissions to perform this operation.
caused by:
net.sf.acegisecurity.AccessDeniedException: Access is denied.

I used both Firefox and Safari, and cleared all the caches/cookies within these browers, but I still got the same error. I do notice that when I try to open

http://company.com:8080/alfresco

it automatically becomes

http://company.com:8080/alfresco/faces/jsp/dashboards/container.jsp

I guess something wrong in the logout process related to some configuration mistake, but have no idea how to correct. Below is the log in the file "host-manager.2009-x-xx.log".

Hi all,

Any update about this issue? I´m getting the same error, but deleting the catalina/localhost doesn´t solve anything not even temporarily….

Thanks.
