This is a consequence of the problem you've reported in another e-mail
thread [1] (authorization.xml exception during parsing), and I've heard
about something similar recently from someone else: I can't recognize
anything significant from the posted stacktrace but if you find any
reproducible way to generate such problem please open an issue on JIRA [2].
AFAICT the problem is only console-side, so all REST services should
work fine; anyway it seems that restarting Tomcat again should make the
problem to disappear.
I tried to find the table where admin shoud be in embedded mode but
could not find syncopedb table since Run syncope in embedded mode
document pointing to url:localhost:9080/syncope/db.jsp has no result
on browser (in projects directory I can find db.jsp under
core/target/syncope-core-test).
Also on that doc I found that external databse result testdb points to
jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost:9092/testdb which doesnt bring any result, but
instead jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost:9092/mem:testdb does.
When Tomcat completes its startup with no errors - assuming you are in
embedded mode or using the standalone distribution, of course - all
expected components are available [3]; however, you need to restart for
the reason reported above.
1. where is admin user defined?
The admin user is not a regular used (alongside with anonymous user):
they are both system users not found in the internal storage.
When creating a new project from archetype you are asked for a secretKey
and an anonymousKey: the former is used to encrypt admin password, the
latter for accessing as anonymous.
You can naturally change default admin credentials: [4].
2. how can I access syncope db in embedded mode?
As said above, accessing http://localhost:9080/syncope/db.jsp should
work - if it does not, you're hitting a bug, or at least the consequence
of another problem (as I suppose, here's why I'm suggesting to try to
restart until you get no more exceptions during startup).
3. Why did user admin disappear?
As explained, it's not disappearing: the problem is that the admin
console is not able to recognize its authorizations.
It seems that the problem you are getting is definetly worth some more
investigation: should you find something more, please report.
