Issue/Introduction

I was adding a user and passwd to WepApp Admin to validate it would function as designed before walking a customer through the same steps.

I was not able to log into the WepApp Admin page After adding a new Admin User.

I get an Unable to load Security module ( something to that Effect )  - I not have NO access to that page so cannot get the exact verbiage of the message.

I tried restarting WebTomcat and the server now Fail to initialize. - This is logged to the catalina.out file-

Environment

Release : 20.2

Component : Spectrum OneClick

Resolution

Rebuild the webswing directory.

1. Stop the Spectrum WebTomcat service

$SPECROOT/webtomcat/bin/stoptWebTomcat.sh

2. Rename the current $SPECROOT/webtomcat/webswing directory.

3. Unzip the $SPECROOT/webtomcat/webswing.zip file. It should create a new $SPECROOT/webtomcat/webswing/ directory.

4. Start the Spectrum WebTomcat service.

$SPECROOT/webtomcat/bin/startWebTomcat.sh

 

When you create a new user in WebApp Admin Tool, it will be added into the $SPECROOT/webtomcat/webswing/webswing.config file.
