Yes, I need to better dig into it but I supposed to be related to the
recent OFBiz strongest security constraint.
The strange thing (not strictly related to the security but to how
VisualThemes are set) is that even id this security issue is already
deployed to the demo server, there should be some way to change the
Visual Theme.
Until few minutes ago the backoffice was not working with admin/ofbiz
because the multiflex theme was selected (that is not supposed to be
used in the backoffice).
I logged in as demoadmin/ofbiz and found the bluelight theme in place
for this login.
Finally I logged in as flexadmin/ofbiz and manually deleted the
UserPreferences record that had admin stuck on multiflex.
Doing this now the demo is working again but...how people was able to
change the theme?

I tried to use party/visits and webtools/logs in order to discover the
"hack" but no way.
I would be interesting to know how to track the user activity that
took to this. How to?
