I spent an hour working with Micah at UNL yesterday on this. We went through 
the MySQL DB and found three instances of mh_anonymous listed as the creator in 
the job table. However, we couldn't do a lot without knowing exactly what to 
fix.

We ended up deciding the best course of action would be to restore the DB to a 
last-known-good state, which we did, as of Saturday, Oct. 8th, at 5:00am.

I brought the distributed servers back up last night, and they appear to be 
working alright at the moment. I'll need to re-run some encoding jobs, but 
otherwise, things appear okay. More on that later today if anything turns sour 
again.

Subject: Re: [Matterhorn-users] Strange error: Creator 'mh_anonymous' is not 
available

One Spanish adopter is also finding the same error. We couldn't reproduce it 
yet, but it seems pretty serious, because (at least in this case), all the 
workflows fail with the same error.

Besides they have tried with 1.2.x branch and with 1.2 tag and the problem 
keeps showing (which proved wrong my initial theory that this could be a 
consequence or a bad merge).

"mh_anonymous" is a constant defined in the package 
"opencastproject.security.api", in the bundle "matterhorn-common". The specific 
interface is "SecurityConstants.java", and inspecting the differences between 
the 1.2 version and the trunk, I've seen that the constant NAME and VALUE is 
different in both versions. The question is: which one is correct?

I hope anyone with a deeper knowledge in the security part can shed some light 
on this (Tobias? Josh? Anyone else?).

Cheers
Rubén

Hi all,

I'm getting a very strange error…

2011-10-10 10:41:47  WARN (ServiceRegistryJpaImpl$JobDispatcher:1468) - Error

I've also gotten the error that Creator 'admin' is not available.

Have any of you seen this before? All the passwords are the same across the 
board.

Any thoughts?
