Invalid login error

[Ganesh Srinivasan]

I have followed the step by step instructions from installing plugin sdk to setting up Eclipse configuration to successfully building the sample helloworld skeleton plugin using archetype template for crowd plugin (atlas-create-crowd-plugin). I am now in the Start the Host Application with your Plugin Installed document page: https://developer.atlassian.com/display/DOCS/Start+the+Host+Application+with+your+Plugin+Installed

Supposedly the crowd with plugin is running on port 4990 as indicated in the cmd prompt window. Yet when I visit http://localhost:4990/crowd and try any and all known userid / password (including admin / admin suggested in your doc link above), it always throws back an invalid login error. Yet, the original crowd service on port 8095 works just fine! I have tried stopping the service on port 8095 and tried the plugin installation afresh, still no luck.

Here is a sampling of the exceptions from the cmd prompt window:

Any guidance will be much appreciated.

I ran into the exact same problem when trying the sample plugin. After playing with it for several hours, I finally was able to log in by modifying the target/crowd/home/crowd.properties file. I changed two prroperties below from using my assigned IP address to 127.0.0.1. I then re-ran atlas-run to start up the server and I was able to log in with admin:admin.

crowd.server.url=http\://127.0.0.1\:4990/crowd/services

application.login.url=http\://127.0.0.1\:4990/crowd

I have not tested much more at this point, but I would expect that you can add your assigned IP addresses back in through the Crowd Administrator console in the crowd application > Remote Addresses.
