Removing guest user breaks alfresco on Jboss

description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

exception

org.alfresco.error.AlfrescoRuntimeException: Failed to authenticate as Guest user.
   org.alfresco.web.app.servlet.AuthenticationHelper.authenticate(AuthenticationHelper.java:209)

note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat/5.5.17 logs.

Is there a way to fix this, I have redeployed this several times and still get the same error.

Hi

Are you trying to login as guest at the login prompt?

This is currently not supported.

No, when I deleted the guest user from the database. I know this is not the correct practice, I now get a nasty exception saying no guest user account when I enter the URL.

Somehow it knows that the guest account is no longer in the database and it must require it to be there. I have tried to recreate the account to no avail, I still get the exception.

I guess my question is how to resolve this problem because I can no longer bring up alfresco. Seems odd that the code would even be checking this before an authentication attempt, also where else would the users accounts or references to users be stored.

When I first saw Alfresco I was impressed but, the more I find out about the difficulties in customization, documentation, supporting community I have lost alot of the excitement.

Hi

If you use

http://localhost:8080/alfresco

It will try and authenticate as guest.

Try,

http://localhost:8080/alfresco/faces/jsp/login.jsp

which should give you the login prompt.

Hello,

You can disable guest access - this is the recommended way of stopping people connecting as guest.
