Issue/Introduction

It is not possible to log into Infrastructure Manager main hub. The error was 'no security'.

All other hubs were working fine. Restarted the main hub robot, Infrastructure Manager is not working at all - no hubs are visible on the list.

The security.cfg file is empty.

These are the errors in hub.log:
