I got this error message when trying to make a password dump in the web administration interface:
- Unauthorized master password dump request Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/yEgMT4v As a newbie, I spent quite some time trying to figure out which user(s) were authorized to make this dump, and why my admin user was not. In the end I found the error message below in the log. 18 Oct 08:44:49 WARN [geoserver.security] - Master password dump attempted to overwrite existing resource So the actual reason was that there was already a file at /opt/foo.txt. I suggest the web administration interface is modified to show the same error/warning message as in the log, or some other equally helpful message :) Sincerely
