Confluence local user login error

Question

Hi,

I need to login as a local user admin to edit ldap informations but I'm having some problems with it.

I've created a local user and gave him admin rights and after loggin in I get this error:

System Error

A system error has occurred — our apologies!

(...)

Cause

java.lang.ClassCastException: com.atlassian.confluence.user.SessionSafePrincipal cannot be cast to com.atlassian.user.User
 at com.atlassian.confluence.user.AuthenticatedUserThreadLocal.getUser(AuthenticatedUserThreadLocal.java:25)

(...)

Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this ?

Thanks

There is a bug report for this here:https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-26547

It appears that you are using a custom authenticator. Have a look at the comment in the bug report and see if it helps in any way.
