Hi all,
after experimenting with a (luckily test) environment 3.4.c on PostgreSQL I'm no more able to login. The system presents me the login web form but tells me that the remote server or my credentials are not valid. The backend is running and in the logs I found the following:

7:58:14,537 ERROR [org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader] Context initialization failed

I'm pretty sure the only things I've changed in the configuration are the logging levels in the log4.properties and then restarted the alfresco service.
Any idea or hint to solve the problem?

Thanks

I found that changing the following parameters in the file tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties makes the login system working or not with the error reported in the previous post:

(from - working)

log4j.logger.org.hibernate=error
log4j.logger.org.alfresco=error
log4j.logger.org.alfresco.repo.model.filefolder=info
‍‍‍‍‍

(to - not working)

log4j.logger.org.hibernate=debug
log4j.logger.org.alfresco=debug
log4j.logger.org.alfresco.repo.model.filefolder=debug
‍‍‍‍‍

So this probably means there is an issue initializing a logger bean, thus the context initialization error. Anyone has an idea on that?
