Re: [Geoserver-users] cannot login to geoserver

[William Graves]

So, I wanted to thank everyone who helped.  I finally got GeoServer to boot
using the following formula:

1. Do the direct install...the one based upon an <*.exe> file.  Be sure you
are administrator. Do this on top of Windows 10 without TomCat.  I will try
to get the TomCat version working next.
2. Be sure to use Java 8...Java 10 fails.
3. Be sure to offset the TCP port number.  The default: 8080, interferes
with Skype or some such thing. People seem to be using <
http://localhost:1025/geoserver> to initiate their admin session.
4. When you log in as administrator, don't use Firefox the first time.
Explorer works for the first login, after which Firefox seems to start
working.

Thanks again for the help.

Bill

Hi Christian,

We did make the following substitution for test purposes:  no joy.

For the file:
<../webapps>geoserver>data>security>usergroup>default>users.xml
--->Content:



we substituted:



So we tried.  Did we get the  in the wrong place or something?

>From the Tomcat manager, after a couple of attempts, we could stop the
geoserver, but it was more difficult (i.e., took a few tries) before it
would restart again.

Re: [Geoserver-users] cannot login to geoserver

[William Graves]

Thanks, Brad.  I just tried it with tomcat 8.5...same behavior. Java is
version 8 build 161, which is passing the install filters.  Machine is Win
10.Pro X64 bit version. 24 GB of Ram, so that can't be it.  Likewise
terabyte SSD as main drive, so shouldn't be problems there.  We manually
move the <*.war> file into the  directory, where it is
successfully recognized by the JVM resulting in the automatic creation of
the  directory containing the data space.

I'm unfamiliar with .  Will it do  anything useful if I can't get
by the login for geoserver?

Bill

[Geoserver-users] cannot login to geoserver

[William Graves]

I have used the web archive file geoserver.war (tried both versions 2.13.0
and 2.12.2) to run the webapp under Tomcat 9.0 on Windows 10. I can access
the splash page for geoserver from my Firefox browser window, but the
default userid (admin) and password (geoserver) do not work. I keep getting
the message "Invalid username/password combination." I tried editing the
file users.xml to (in directory
webapps/geoserver/security/usergroup/default) put the password in plain
text, but that does not work either.
  Note that I changed the default port for the Tomcat to be 1025 instead of
8080 because of a Windows conflict with Skype.
