[Geoserver-users] Revert auth changes via CLI

GeoServer GeoServer User

Hello

After experimenting with JDBC and LDAP authentication, user/group
services, and role services, I can no longer get admin access to the
web admin interface (presumably by failing to set the correct ADMIN
role, or something similar).

Is there a moderately easy way to reconfigure Geoserver via its config
files to disable/reconfigure each/any of these which I've configured
in the web admin interface:

- JDBC authentication
- JDBC user/group service
- JDBC role service

I've delving in /var/lib/tomcat9/webapps/geoserver/data/security, but
I haven't quite found what I need yet.

Many thanks

Tom

If your aim is only to have the admin login working again, I would do a backup of the data_dir, start a brand new installation and copy back the data_dir again except for the security folder.

In the future you are advised to setup and enable logging in as the “root” user. This should be step 1 whenever working on security :slight_smile:

https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/security/root.html

You may be able to edit the data directory by hand to enable logging in as root.
