Cannot login to backup Jira instance

[Norbert]

Hi

I copied (virtual Machine) my Jira 5.1.1 instance to a testserver which has no access to the Active Directory.
The problem is, I only have users in JIRA which use "Delegate LDAP Authentication", so I'm not able to login to the JIRA instance. Is there a workaround available?
I have access to the Database, so probably I can manually create a local Admin User!

Or do I have to create a local admin user first and redo the export/copy of the installation

Hope somebody can help!

You could restore the local adminsitrator in JIRA by following this documentation. Please do backup your JIRA database for safety purpose. In addition to that, you might need to also run the following query, but please make sure there's no other directory that has 0 as directory_position as its value.

updatecwd_directory setdirectory_position = 0 whereid = 1;

Hope it helps.
