I downloaded and built Apache Usergrid on my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and deployed the ROOT.war on my local tomcat7 server as per instructions given at https://usergrid.incubator.apache.org/docs/deploy-local/. I copied usergrid-deployment.properties file to CATALINA_HOME/lib, restarted Tomcat server and am trying to test it using http://localhost:8080/system/database/setup as per the instructions.
I get a login screen that has the following text at the top: [ A username and password are being requested by "http://localhost:8080". The site says: "Usergrid Authentication". ]. I try to login with the superuser id/pw as given in the usergrid-deployment.properties file but it does not recognize the id/pw and keeping throwing the same login screen. Did anyone encounter this problem? What am I missing? Do I need to add the superuser id/pw info to tomcat-users.xml? The instructions didn't ask for this. Even if I add what "role" would I use? Any help appreciated. BTW my Cassandra deployment works fine independent of Tomcat & Usergrid.
this works for me.
you need edit a properties file under config package.
usergrid/stack/config/src/main/resources/usergrid-default.properties
rebuild config, rest.
redeploy it.
The properties file name should be renamed as "usergrid-custom.properties" which you going to put in Tomcat/lib directory.
On the other way you can modify "usergrid/stack/config/src/main/resources/usergrid-default.properties" and rebuild config and then put "usergrid-config-1.0.0.jar" which is located "incubator-usergrid-master\stack\config\target" to your web application lib folder "Tomcat-Home\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib".
I suffered from the same problem and only way I've found so far is to change usergrid-default.properties under stack/config/src/main/resources/usergrid-default.properties from source.
and then run "mvn clean install -DskipTests=true"
This should work.
That login isn't part of Usergrid. Do you perhaps have directory permissions set incorrectly on the directory that serves the install? This sounds like a Tomcat protected directory problem, not a Usergrid login issue.
The ROOT.war (build file of usergrid stack) file also needs to be stored into the CATLINA_BASE i.e (/var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/) also.
Also change the ownership and access rights of tomcat folder(CATLINA_HOME and CATLINA_BASE) from root to complete free access (access level 777).
You have to copy the usergrid-custom.properties file in this folder
/usr/share/tomcat7/lib
The login screen popping up repeatedly may indicate that it was unable to complete authentication or encountered issues while authenticating.
Ensure:
- The usergrid-custom.properties is placed in your tomcat's lib folder
- The username and password specified in it have no spaces at the end
- You use the very same username and password that you specified
You may look up the logs for further information in case the issue persists
