[GeoNetwork-users] authentication problem

Hi to all,
i have a problem with admin and users authentication.
How does the authentication system work?Once i try to login i receive this message: THE REQUESTED OPERATION COULD NOT BE PERFORMED.
NullPointerException :

happens when i try to login geonetwork with admin credential,
i try then with the simple user credential, but i have the same result.

It seems that the authentication process does not work fine.
I try to restart geonetwork but i have the same result.

I wondering if there is a way to restart the authentication system, or
if there is a way to change the admin password from outside the geonetwork
enviroment, using the command line.

At least, in the worste case, there is a way to backup the data from outside
geonetwork
to restore those in a newer geonetwork version?Thanks

E.P.S. Geonetwork 2.4.3 on tomcat 6.0.18, ubuntu server 9.06
                 

hi Eugenio,

it's likely your database connection does not work. Anything in the
GeoNetwork logs about that ?

Kind regards

hi,

those messages don't indicate an abnormal situation.

You're sure you don't have anything like

Failed to create datastore for
jdbc:postgresql_postGIS://localhost:5432/geonetwork

or other things related to the DB in your log ?

Are you using the default H2 DB, or changed to e.g. Postgres ?

Or any other error messages ? Maybe try setting log level to DEBUG.

Kind regards

hi,

not sure -- as I can't tell what goes wrong exactly.

You get a NullpointerException message when trying to log in, but you have
no stacktrace about that in the GeoNetwork log or console ?

Also, you say you have data in GN you'd like to backup. How did this data
get into GN when you can't login ?

Kind regards,

Hi,
i found the log line posted in the catilina.out log, i don't know where is the
GN log, maybe you mean in web-inf/db/log ??

The problem occurred once the data was inserted inside GN.

I'm wondering if the problem is related to some package jar not load in tomcat enviroment...

Could you maybe send the complete log file from when you start the server

hi,

it seems GN is not all well initialized. You already get a
NullpointerException when going to the home page:

So it's not so much an authentication problem, but you might say it's all
screwed.

But that doesn't help you much. Just to clarify: you used the same GN
installation before, when it was working fine as you could enter data ("The
problem occurred once the data was inserted inside GN."), and after
entering the data you started to have this problem ? By which method did
you insert data ?

catalina,out should be ok, yes.

Could you maybe send the complete log file from when you start the server
to where you unsuccessfully tried to log in ?

Hi,
i found the log line posted in the catilina.out log, i don't know where is
the
GN log, maybe you mean in web-inf/db/log ??

The problem occurred once the data was inserted inside GN.

I'm wondering if the problem is related to some package jar not load in
tomcat enviroment...

Regards

hi,

not sure -- as I can't tell what goes wrong exactly.

You get a NullpointerException message when trying to log in, but you have
no stacktrace about that in the GeoNetwork log or console ?

Also, you say you have data in GN you'd like to backup. How did this data
get into GN when you can't login ?

Kind regards,
Heikki Doeleman
