Marc - we changed the contract for UserDatabase slighttly. I thought we documented the required changes in the UPGRADING document. However, you can get the details from the UserDatabase javadoc.

That said, here's what the problem is likely to be:
- your user database implementation does not implement finding by unique ID - your UserDatabase implementation does not implement UserProfile custom properties (a new 2.8 feature)

The empty array might also be the root cause... Let me know what you find.

Hi,

we are currently running JSPWiki 2.4, with our own custom LDAP login- and Userdatabase module, and we want to upgrade to 2.8. However we have troubles with the new implemented Authorisation & Authentication: - navigating to the Login or Userpreferences page does not work, the page gets not loaded, no error or warning is given, nothing to find in the logs (even in debug mode) except for the following lines: "INFO com.ecyrd.jspwiki.auth.UserManager - Attempting to load user database class ... .LDAPUserDatabase INFO com.ecyrd.jspwiki.auth.user.AbstractUserDatabase - Initializing LDAP database ...
INFO com.ecyrd.jspwiki.auth.UserManager  - UserDatabase initialized."
So it seems that our Userdatbase is initialized correctly.

- I tried to go to the Admin and SecurityConfig pages and these gave me following errors:
* Admin page:
"An error occurred while getting property "wikiNames" from an instance of class ... .LDAPUserDatabase.
Exception
   javax.servlet.jsp.el.ELException
Place where detected
   org.apache.commons.el.Logger.logError(), line 484"

* SecurityConfig:
"Error Message
An unknown exception java.lang.NullPointerException was caught by Error.jsp.
Exception
   java.lang.NullPointerException
Place where detected
   com.ecyrd.jspwiki.auth.WikiPrincipal.hashCode(), line 145 "

Our implementation only returns a profile for "findByLoginName", that was never a problem, and "getWikiNames" probably always returns an empty array, maybe that is the problem ?

regards,
Marc Patteet
