After LDAP integration we lost admin rights. local added admin still can't log in

[M]

In Confluence 4.0 We added an LDAP directory which, for some reason, wiped out all our administrator rights. SQL srvr back-end

We can't log in as an admin.

Followed the instructions for: If No Local Users Exist

Was able to add an 'admin' to local

1. Add new groups by running: {ok}

2. Add group memberships into cwd_membership:
   Could not do. Duplicate key msg from SQL

3. Add group memberships into cwd_membership:

We presume that 2 didn't happen because the memberships are already there.

But the admin we added via sql can't log in. The message on log-in says the user does not exist. The local confluence directory is order '0' and still can't log in. I set the LDAP to 'F' - no joy.

How do we fix that - get an admin authority or roll back or take that LDAP added directory out from Confluence from the back-end.

Any ideas?

Hi Chance,

Have you also had a look at http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRAKB/Administrator+Cannot+Login+After+Reordering+User+Directories ?

Also, did you restart Confluence after making the database changes?

How about trying that:
