Andrew,

thanks for the quick reply. I forgot to mention that I could not find that 
UPGRADING document,
it's not available in the binary distribution (I found it now in the source 
distribution).
I have tried a few things but nothing has changed.
getWikiNames() indeed returns null because it will only return
a wiki name for someone who is logged in because we use our custom LDAP 
implementation only for this (and logging in is not required),
this was not a problem in 2.4 but it seems to me that has this changed now ?

 - What do you mean with "UserProfile custom properties ", is this the Map with 
Attributes ? What are these attributes then ? (they seem to be optional)
 - "your user database implementation does not implement finding by unique ID": 
it does (but it returns null, as I said we only use findByLoginName)
 - what is "Principal[] getWikiNames()" supposed to return ? All the wikinames 
in the database (as it seems to be done in the other Userdatabase 
implementations)?

A few settings in the properties file that are perhaps also usefull:
- jspwiki.cookieAssertions=true
- cookie authentication is off
jspwiki.authorizer = com.ecyrd.jspwiki.auth.authorize.WebContainerAuthorizer 
(same as in 2.4)

regards,
Marc

Marc - we changed the contract for UserDatabase slighttly. I thought we 
documented the required changes in the UPGRADING document. However, you can get 
the details from the UserDatabase javadoc.

That said, here's what the problem is likely to be:
- your user database implementation does not implement finding by unique ID
- your UserDatabase implementation does not implement UserProfile custom 
properties (a new 2.8 feature)

The empty array might also be the root cause... Let me know what you find.

Hi,



we are currently running JSPWiki 2.4, with our own custom LDAP login- and 
Userdatabase module, and we want to upgrade to 2.8.

However we have troubles with the new implemented Authorisation & 
Authentication:

- navigating to the Login or Userpreferences page does not work, the page gets 
not loaded, no error or warning is given, nothing to find in the logs (even in 
debug mode) except for the following lines:

"INFO com.ecyrd.jspwiki.auth.UserManager  - Attempting to load user database 
class ... .LDAPUserDatabase

INFO com.ecyrd.jspwiki.auth.user.AbstractUserDatabase  - Initializing LDAP 
database ...

INFO com.ecyrd.jspwiki.auth.UserManager  - UserDatabase initialized."

So it seems that our Userdatbase is initialized correctly.



- I tried to go to the Admin and SecurityConfig pages and these gave me 
following errors:

* Admin page:

"An error occurred while getting property "wikiNames" from an instance of class 
... .LDAPUserDatabase.

Exception

  javax.servlet.jsp.el.ELException

Place where detected

  org.apache.commons.el.Logger.logError(), line 484"



* SecurityConfig:

"Error Message

  An unknown exception java.lang.NullPointerException was caught by Error.jsp.

Exception

  java.lang.NullPointerException

Place where detected

  com.ecyrd.jspwiki.auth.WikiPrincipal.hashCode(), line 145 "



Our implementation only returns a profile for "findByLoginName", that was never 
a problem, and "getWikiNames" probably always returns an empty array, maybe 
that is the problem ?



regards,

Marc Patteet
