WQS unable to connect to repository: Unauthorized

[kstaken]

When attempting to upgrade from 3.4.b to 3.4.c Alfresco seems to start OK but about every 2 seconds the following message gets logged.

WARN : org.alfresco.wcm.client.util.impl.GuestSessionFactoryImpl - WQS unable to connect to repository: Unauthorized

If I do a clean install the message doesn't occur only when upgrading an older repository.

To get a further data point I also went back to an older backup from Alfresco 3.2 and the same thing happens.

The core Alfresco application works so it is able to connect to the database and I can log into Share and create a new site so I'm not sure what functionality this is breaking but it's logging every couple seconds which is it self a problem.

Has anyone else seen this or know of any potential causes/solutions?

I also had this problem running alfresco.3-4-c on Win7. This error message: A problem has occurred.

This page could not be rendered:
document-details
Please notify your system administrator.‍‍‍

Shows up in Alfresco for varying reasons. In my case, I discovered that for some obscure reasons changing the admin pwd set during the installation process, in share, causes the above error that prevents the web quick start -wcmqs-  page from loading. This change is not propagated across the various Alfresco subsystems and component. For instance,

<Alfresco-home>\virtual-tomcat\conf\lfresco-virtserver.property‍

file still has the old admin pwd.
Simply setting the pwd to what it was during installation, returns the wcmqs page.

Hope this helps someone.

Hi,

Same problem on Alfresco 3.4.d

I used this command to find all properties files containing the admin account

find /opt/alfresco/ -name *.properties -exec grep -H "=admin" '{}' \;‍

Changed them with the new password, restarted Alfresco and the authentication problem to the repository dissapear !

I experienced the same issue after changing the default share admin password, but fixed it as follows:

1) Open /virtual-tomcat/conf/alfresco-vtiserver.properties and edit the following code with the new admin password:

# Admin level user and password to connect to login to Alfresco server.
#
alfresco.server.user=admin
alfresco.server.password=new_password

2) Open /tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/wqsapi-custom.properties and edit the code:

#wcmqs.api.user=admin
wcmqs.api.password=new_password

3) Restart the server

Hope this helps
