Unable to login into bamboo

Question

We are using bamboo 6.3.2 and installed and configured crowd.  I am unable to login into bamboo and see this line in the atlassian-bamboo.log   Failure authenticating with BASIC 'Crowd REST Service'.  In Crowd I added the bamboo application and typed in the password. Can I verify I have the correct password in the MySQL database?  I did change the crowd.properties file in the directoryapplication-data/bamboo/xml-data/configuration to reflect the proper password, but I am not sure if that file is used anymore.  The authentication test in Crowd passes for my username.  Also I don't know how to disable the Crowd integration, at least temporarily, so I can sign into bamboo.

Thank, Karl

Thanks.  The workaround section did allow me to log back into Bamboo.  I did setup a bamboo-admin group.  Once logged into bamboo I selected 'Users and groups from JIRA or Crowd' within 'User repositories' versus  'custom user repository'.  I am not sure if I had a problem with the application name being case sensitive.

My next problem is getting SSO to function.

Karl,

You can restore Bamboo to use its internal user directory by following the instructions in the Workaround section of the following article:

Bamboo lost connection to external user directory.

With regards to not being able to log on with your CROWD directory; did you create a 'bamboo-admin' group within CROWD?

Please see full instructions here:
