I'm actually getting this exact same problem. So please, if anyone else knows or you yourself figure it out, pass the answer on to me. I would be eternally grateful. Thank you!

Okay, here's what I can figure out:

My initial problem seemed to be because, although I thought I was using
tomcat 5.0.28, I was actually using 5.0.27. Once I switched to tomcat
5.0.28, it actually got worse. Now, I don't even get the welcome page,
instead I get a 500 error:

So, I switched from using the latest CVS source to using the 2.0M1 source. That 
also fails, giving me a different null pointer exception.

It's getting late, so I'll pursue it later. If anyone has any ideas on what's 
going on, please let me know.

Thanks.

All the parameters seem to be correct for my mysql database. When I try

I've even tried restarting tomcat to make sure the connection parameters
are the ones being used. I guess I'm really confused now.

Just to be clear: the correct (initial) password for the admin user *is* admin
(as you can see from your own select results).

Now, it doesn't look your passwords are yet encrypted. That means they haven't
been accessed yet. At least, not from this table. As you don't seem to have 
other
problems during startup (indicating your not connected to any database) I 
suspect
you might be looking at the wrong one.
You probably know already Jetspeed-2 uses two different database/schemas: one 
for
building/tests and one for production.

Is it possible you are using or looking at the wrong schema for the production 
database?
Check the jetspeed.xml in $TOMCAT/conf/Catalina/localhost.
The connection parameters used by the portal at runtime are stored in there.

I tried those first off. No luck. Strangely enough, I also looked at the

7 rows in set (0.00 sec)

I don't see any encrypted passwords there. I do see what might be
unencrypted passwords, in column 3, but I tried those and it didn't
work. Also, even though I have tried and failed several passwords, the
AUTH_FAILURES and IS_ENABLED columns haven't changed. Obviously, I'm
missing something, but I don't know what it is.

Just for some background, I initially tried the default hypersonic
database, and couldn't get in using admin/admin, admin/jetspeed, or
anything else I could think of to try, and I figured it would be easier
for me to look at the DB tables from mysql, so I moved everything to
mysql (which wasn't too bad, really, thanks to the docs), and got it
going again. I don't have hypersonic running, so I'm pretty sure it's
not going against that DB, but I really can't explain why none of this
is working.

Again, any help would be appreciated.

Jack,

The default/demo user accounts are inserted in the database table 
SECURITY_CREDENTIAL
by the database dependent populate-userinfo-for-default-psml.sql scripts which
you can find under the src/sql folder.
For all these accounts the (initial) password is the same as the user name:

 admin/admin
 jetspeed/jetspeed
 user/user

 et cetera

Now, as you probably have tried more than 3 times different passwords for the
admin user, you are in bad luck: the account will be locked out by now by the
default configured security rules!
You can re enable a user account by setting the IS_ENABLED column value for the
admin user back to 1 (it will be 0 if the account is locked out).

To determine which record actually is the one for the admin user, find
the record with:
     SECURITY_CREDENTIAL.PRINCIPAL_ID = SECURITY_PRINCIPAL.PRINCIPAL_ID
 AND SECURITY_PRINCIPAL.FULL_PATH = '/user/admin'
or just set them all back to value 1.

The reason you couldn't find the correct password (anymore) for the admin user
in the database is because it is encrypted by now. Initially, these aren't 
encrypted
as you can find out from the populate scripts, but they will be at first access
(with the default configured security rules that is).

Once you have re enabled the admin user and can login with admin/admin, you can 
use
the administrative UserManagement portlets to enable other user accounts which 
might
have been locked out again.

Note: at first login, you'll be required to change the password again ;-)

And yes, you are right, we should document this more prominently I guess :-)

Regards,

ATe

Hi. I apologize if this is a newbie question, but I'm having a lot of
trouble logging in as admin with my jetspeed 2 installation. The
jetspeed 2 docs don't seem to have any indication (that I have seen) of
what the default admin password is, and I've tried the one listed in the
jetspeed 1 docs, plus any others I could think of. I've also tried
looking for docs on where the passwords are kept, with no luck. I've
also tried just looking through the DB tables, again with no luck.

Please, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
