Can't login to test page using admin/admin

[Phil Puccio]

Hi,

I just started working on my first plugin (for Crowd), and have hit a problem while following the "Start application" instructions after creating the plugin skeleton.

The instructions say I should log in (to http://localhost:4990/crowd) as user admin with password admin, but when I do so, the page says "Invalid login." and the log shows:

ERROR [crowd.console.action.Login] Client with address "10.0.2.15", and hostname "crowd" is forbidden from making requests to the application, {2}.; nested exception is com.atlassian.crowd.exception.InvalidAuthorizationTokenException:

I've rechecked and I can't see any step that I missed. Does anyone know how to get past this problem?

Thanks,

Phil

One possibility is that your crowd.properties file is specifying connection over an IP address that Crowd isn't initially expecting. If you're using AMPS, this file will be in target/crowd/home/crowd.properties. Edit this file so the crowd.server.url uses 'localhost' rather than a hostname and restart Crowd.

Thanks for your help. I got it to work by following your advice.

Good to hear. This issue will be fixed in the next release of AMPS (AMPS-747).

You need to add the IP address (10.0.2.15) to the Application you are trying to authenticate as.

Thanks for the pointer. I got it to work by modifying crowd.properties.
