Hi

What versions of all the components are you running?
This looks familiar - it might have been fixed somewhere along the line.

Hi

Have you deleted the guest user?

How are yo doing authentication?

Log in as admin and check you can find the details for guest. If not recreate a user with id "guest" - via the UI, or in your LDAP repo, …  

It is possible you have cleaned the guest user as part of an LDAP import.
