Christian, When we switched over to AD, the end-user accounts did exist on AD but when they logged in for the first time against AD it appeared that their account was reset, with existing reviews lost. That was not an issue at the time.
The Master account (my admin ID) did continue to work until this morning but without there being an equivalent AD account. (Contrary to my original post, I'm thinking that I must have restarted the server since the switchover without losing Admin rights.) When I could not login this morning, the Apache error_log showed the following - no references to any other Apache logs. error_log:WARNING:root:Active Directory: Failed login for user master I then added master to our AD and that error no longer appears, but I can only log in as a normal user now. Are there other logs I should be running with in general? If so then how do I enable them please? UPDATE - I've just found the following in the Admin Guide but not tried it. Is this what I need? Creating a Super User¶ It is possible to create a new super user account without using the website. This can be important if the main super user account is for whatever reason disabled or if the login information is lost. To create a new super user account, run: $ rb-site manage /path/to/site createsuperuser This will prompt for the username and password of the account. You must specify a user that doesn’t already exist in the database. Once this is finished, you should be able to log in under the new account and fix any problems you have.
