Login screen does not appear after creating 120000 users

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Hi,

after creating around 120000 users in Alfresco 3 Labs, the UI does not display any login screen anymore. This error message appears instead:

org.alfresco.error.AlfrescoRuntimeException: Error during getUserPreferencesRef(): Access Denied. You do not have the appropriate permissions to perform this operation.
caused by:
org.alfresco.repo.security.permissions.AccessDeniedException: Access Denied. You do not have the appropriate permissions to perform this operation.
caused by:
net.sf.acegisecurity.AccessDeniedException: Access is denied.‍‍‍‍‍

Did someone have the same problem?

The complete stack trace is the following:

Any help would be appreciated. If you need more information, please let me know.
Thank you in advance!

Hi again,

finally we could fix the error. The problem was that we accidentally changed the rights of the Guest user during the user creation test.

Thanks!
