Hello, I would like to know the procedure to duplicate a whole Sling environment, with data stored in an Oracle DB.
I thought a copy of the database, and a copy of the Jackrabbit folder in Sling home was enough (with an update on the DB connections in repository.xml file), but told my client that I had no real knowledge about this and we would need to test with a sample environment. Unfortunately, they did not and directly tried to load production data into a test environment, following this method. They quickly realized that when they deleted a node on the newly created test environment, the same node had been actually deleted on prodution too. That leads to another issue : they then reloaded a backup of the production database (more like rollbacked latest queries apparently), without stopping the JBoss containing the Sling server... now the data are back with just one problem: it is no longer possible to log in as "admin" user, as I can see that in the logs: org.apache.jackrabbit.core.security.user.UserManagerImpl Admin user does not exist. org.apache.jackrabbit.core.security.authentication.DefaultLoginModule Error while retrieving principal. org.apache.sling.extensions.webconsolesecurityprovider.internal.SlingWebConsoleSecurityProvider authenticate: User admin failed to authenticate with the repository for Web Console access javax.jcr.LoginException: LoginModule ignored Credentials So if you could please tell me : - what configuration needs to be updated when you're duplicating an environment - how to fix or what to investigate for this "admin user" issue I would really grateful Thank you for your help! Regards, Guillaume
