Dear all,
I just upgraded my geoserver instance from 2.13 to 2.19.2 and I can’t login anymore. The error message is :
- Invalid username/password combination.
Nothing comes out in the logs.
I transferred the data directory to the new geoserver and all my layers can be previewed. If I check the file ./geoserver/data/security/usergroup/default/users.xml I can still see all the registered users.
What am I missing? Are there an additional steps to perform for a successful update?
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
···

That’s one big jump… thinking out loud, it might be related to the JDK used in the two cases.
The JDK contains the cryptography routines, maybe in one you had the strong crypto installed,
and in the other you don’t? However, recent versions of OpenJDK should have the strong cryptography built-in…
Cheers

If I check the file ./geoserver/data/security/usergroup/default/users.xml I can still see all the registered users.
If all else fails you can reset the admin password in that file to plain text and then update all (including admin) passwords from the GUI (that should then use the new encryption algo).

Dear all,
Thank you for your replies.
Downgrading to version 2.18.5 seems to solve the password issue. I’ll try your solution of admin password reset with newer version.
Best regards ,
