-----------------------------------
Summary: Better indicator of missing knox.token.hash.key on Token
Management/Generation UIs
Key: KNOX-3187
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KNOX-3187
Project: Apache Knox
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 2.1.0
Reporter: Sandor Molnar
Assignee: Sandor Molnar
Fix For: 2.1.0
Attachments: image-2025-09-09-08-41-30-504.png,

As of now, when there is no `knox.token.hash.key` alias stored in the
gateway-level credential store and one hits the Token Management or Token
Generation UI, the following pop-up windows are shown:
!image-2025-09-09-08-41-30-504.png|height=200!
!image-2025-09-09-08-42-19-091.png|height=200!
The only way to find out what causes this issue is to check the logs, where the
root cause is clearly indicated:
{code}
Caused by: org.glassfish.hk2.api.MultiException: A MultiException has 2
exceptions. They are:
1. org.apache.knox.gateway.services.ServiceLifecycleException: Missing
knox.token.hash.key alias from Gateway's credential store
2. java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to perform operation: post construct
on org.apache.knox.gateway.service.knoxtoken.TokenResourceV2
{code}
To avoid this, we need to improve the error message within the popup window to
tell the users they need this key before they can use the token management
feature.
