Unexpected logout after a few clicks (Alfresco 2.0 Preview)

mruflin

I tried to install the Alfresco 2.0 Preview (zip version as well as bundled windows installer), but face a rather strange problem:

After clicking through a couple of pages (1 .. 4), I get directly redirected to the login page. Trying to relogin with admin:admin, I get a "Unable to login - unknown username/password." message.

Then, if I try to go back to the main url (http://localhost:8080/alfresco/), I get following exception:

I'm using the Jan 19. release, in the zip archive version with MySQL, in the installer version HSQL.

I'm wondering if somebody else experienced this problem or could give me some hints how to fix it.

Thanks a lot,

Michael

Update: Similar behaviour with the linux alfresco 2.0 preview installer on a different machine, but far less often.

I also installed Alfresco 2.0 Preview on another computer, getting the exact same behaviour.

Easiest way to reproduce: Log in as admin:admin, go the to adminstration console and click there around a bit.

I also compiled Alfresco directly from the trunk - getting the same problems.

I'd happily help to track down this issue, but would need some guidance regarding where to look around…

I had the same problem. I installed alfresco in german language and if I tried to login with english language, I get the same problem.
I haven`t a solution for this problem, but if I log in with german language (the language I installed alfresco) I haven`t the problem and alfresco works without problems. Maybe that information can help you.?!?!

mruflin

Thanks for the hint! It worked - but only if I don't log in with "English" as language at all!

After a complete reinstallation, I first logged in with English and admin:admin, getting the same behaviour as always. Logging in with German as language afterwards didn't fix the problem.

After restarting Tomcat and logging in directly with German, it worked correctly.

For the alfresco developers: Before getting the system to work that way, I also tried the current sources (rev. 453) with English as language. I got the same problem as with the preview installer.

Hi,

Thanks for spotting and investigating this. I have reproduced the issue this morning and i'm developing a fix now.
http://issues.alfresco.com/browse/AWC-1113

Thanks,

Kevin

I have finished the fix, if you apply the following diff to your alfresco/index.jsp file it should solve the problem:

You will need to stop the server, delete the temporary files in \tomcat\work (to remove the existing compiled index.jsp file) and restart Alfresco.

Please let us know if this fixes the issue.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

I applied the diff onto the current trunk (revision 459), but the problem still exists.

The real problem must exist somewhere else - or is index.jsp also called when changing from one page to another within the webapplication? (e.g. when switching from Company Home to Preferences)?

Greetings,

Michael

kevinr

That's very strange - we have been unable to reproduce the issue any other way. The issues only occurs if the entry point is /alfresco (which effectively starts at index.jsp).

If you look at the error stack you posted it contains this line:
at org.apache.jsp.index_jsp._jspService(index_jsp.java:84)

Which suggest that is where the problem is on your system also. If you say it still occurs with the patch then I'm not sure how it can be happening if you end up with the same error stack…?

Thanks,

Kevin

mruflin

Copied from the tomcat generated index.jsp:

84: // override with the users preference if they have one
85: User user = 86: (User)session.getAttribute(AuthenticationHelper.AUTHENTICATION_USER);
86: if (user != null && (user.getUserName().equals(PermissionService.GUEST_AUTHORITY) == : false))
87: {
88: // ensure construction of the FacesContext before attemping a service call
89: FacesContext fc = FacesHelper.getFacesContext(request, response, application);
90: String preference = (String)PreferencesService.getPreferences(fc).getValue("start-location");
91: if (preference != null)
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The stack trace changed of course, it's now line 90, not 84 🙂

Please note that this provoked exception is not the root cause of the whole problem. http://localhost:8080/alfresco/faces/jsp/login.jsp doesn't allow to log in with admin:admin anymore once alfresco kicks you out.

Actually I found an even simpler way to reproduce my problem:
1. log in as admin:admin
2. log out
3. log in -> fails!

I know OO is not running, but I had the same problem with running OO.

Given that I'm not the only one with that problem, it makes probably sense to investigate this further. If it helps, I can enable log4j or put a printStackTrace into whatever code you like.

The solution I posted fixes issue quoted above. The SecurityContext issue you mention was a problem with transaction wrappers around AuthenticationService methods that caused issues in the 2.0 preview but were fixed last week. The code in HEAD should not have this issue. Our QA department cannot reproduce either issue with the latest code including my fix.

>I applied the diff onto the current trunk (revision 459), but the problem still exists.
Very strange! We cannot reproduce the issue on any machine here now. I assume if you create a fresh Alfresco instance from the latest SVN source (which should include the latest fix now) then you still get the problem?

Thanks,

Kevin

> Very strange! We cannot reproduce the issue on any machine here now. I assume if you create a fresh Alfresco instance from the latest SVN source (which should include the latest fix now) then you still get the problem?

Yes I do, indeed very strange.

Even stranger is the fact that the 2.0 Preview build works on my machine - but only if I log in with German.

Hard to know whether this is all my fault or a bug 😞
Somebody else building from sources and experiencing this problem?

kevinr

Can you tell me what is the default locale of the server machine English or German? And what does your web-client-config languages override look like? I'm just asking to try and completely reproduce your situation as maybe there is a case we have missed.

Thanks,

Kevin

mruflin

The version that is working with german locale is the 2.0 preview:

AlfrescoCommunity-2.0Preview-Setup.exe as of January 19th.
Choose German as installation language, default database and location.

I haven't tried the german trick with the current sources yet, will try to do that later today (to see whether this is just a strange coincidence or not).

mruflin

I've switched now from Tomcat 6.0.7 to 5.5.20, together with MySQLServer5.0, English WinXp professional, regional settings set to German (Switzerland) with German (Switzerland) as default for non-unicode programs.

Same problem still exists, but again, using German as language I was able to use alfresco normally. Strangely it doesn't work with Spanish though…

I set up tomcat the following way:

- Compiled a new alfresco.war from yesterday's sources (ant build-tomcat)

- Copied shared/classes/alfresco folder from the 2.0 preview tomcat installation over to the new tomcat installation

- Deleted all xml files in /shared/classes/alfresco except /extension/web-client-config-custom.xml and the messages/*.properties

Thanks,

Michael

I've managed to get similar-looking behaviour. Hopefully it's the same thing and we can sort it out.

We reproduced the issue in QA - it has been upgraded to a BLOCKER issue.

Thanks,

I second that !

Unfortunately I just upgraded to final 2.0 GA and the problem still occurs.

Any update ?

Thx & cheers

Are you 100% you fully upgraded - cleaned out all tmp and work folders etc. - can you confirm the version of Alfresco in the About dialog? I'm asking as I've just asked QA to confirm that the issue is not present and it is ok on both Community and Enterprise.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi,

I have done an upgrade from Alf 1.4 community (I chucked a fair amount of stuff in it inc extra users, groups and categories) to 2.0 community and did not encounter this issue.

As Kevinr mentioned, did you clean out your Temp, Work and webapps\alfresco folders to eliminate any old 1.4 files?

If you have any further information about your set-up and how you reproduced this bug that would be useful.

Thanks,

Steve

Kevin, Steve,

nice, many thanks ! Seems your right and something went wrong during upgrade.

Checked the version and still had
Version: Community Network - v2.0.0 (Preview build-167)

Just did a clean Install on this test box (not so many data yet)
And seems fine
Version: Community Network - v2.0.0 (build-185)

After I proceed further with testing, you will most likely hear from me again 😉

Cheers
Christian
