[Geoserver-users] XDB authentication ?

Luis_de_Sousa2 · December 1, 2009, 9:22am

Hello everyone,

I have been using GeoServer 1.7.6 on WinXP SP2 for a while without major trouble. Since yesterday when I try to log to the admin page (http://localhost:8080/geoserver) I’m being presented with an authentication screen for something called XDB (please take a look to the image attached). What is this? What credentials should I use to log on to the admin page?

Thanks,

Luís

Never seen this, but a quick Google search says Oracle is running
an XDB software on port 8080:

Did you install Oracle yesterday?

Hi Andrea,

I did install Oracle 9.2 yesterday… but I have installed Oracle with GeoServer in the past on other XP installations without problems. Any suggestions on how to solve this?

Thanks,

Luís

Either tell Oracle to run its service on a port other than 8080
(I do that routinely when I install Oracle XE, for example) or tell
GS to do that. For GeoServer it's actually a problem of telling the
container that runs it.
If you are using the Windows installer then container used is Jetty
and you'll have to manually edit a configuration file located at
<geoserver_install_dir>/etc/jetty.xml.

Look for the line:
<Set name="port"><SystemProperty name="jetty.port" default="8080"/></Set>

and change it to:

to run on port 8081

Cheers
Andrea

Alternatively, you can change the XDB port

http://www.filibeto.org/sun/lib/nonsun/oracle/10.2.0.1.0/B19306_01/install.102/b15660/app_port.htm#CIHCJJIG

To change the Oracle XDB ports:

Check that the Oracle listener is running. To do so, in the Services control panel, make sure that the Oracle TNS Listener service (for example, OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListener) is set to Started.

If you cannot start the listener, refer to Oracle Database Net Services Administrator’s Guide.
Log into SQLPlus or iSQLPlus as SYS or XDB using the SYSDBA role.

For example, to log in to SQL*Plus as SYS using the password welcome:
```
$ sqlplus "sys/welcome AS SYSDBA"
```
Run the catxdbdbca.sql script.

For example, to use 2200 for the FTP port and 8200 for the HTTP port, and assuming your Oracle home is in the following location, enter the following command:
```
SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catxdbdbca.sql 2200 8200
```
Exit SQLPlus or iSQLPlus.

Hi,

I managed to change the ports where XDB is listening using this guide:

http://www.idevelopment.info/data/Oracle/DBA_tips/xmldb/XMLDB_2.shtml

Thanks to all for your help. I now have a problem creating FeatureTypes but will open a new thread with that.

Hi,

If port 8080 is reserved, you need to change one or another software to use another port, I guess.
