Issue/Introduction

Error when trying to change SPECTRUM user password:

"Cannot convert the value; expecting byte []"

Environment

Release: Any
Component:

Cause

The cause was the user had modified the $SPECROOT/tomcat/webapps/spectrum/WEB-INF/admin/config/view-userdetails-config.xml file

 

From the default view-userdetails-config.xml file:

          <editable class="com.aprisma.spectrum.app.swing.table.render.PasswordCellEditor">
            <param name="encryption">MD5</param>
          </editable>

From the custom view-userdetails-config.xml file:

        <editable class="com.aprisma.spectrum.app.swing.table.render.PasswordCellEditor"/>
        </column>

The user had removed the <param> tag for the encryption.

Resolution

Do not modify the <param> for encryption in the $SPECROOT/tomcat/webapps/spectrum/WEB-INF/admin/config/view-userdetails-config.xml file. Keep the default configuration.
