Unable to Log In to Confluence after an XML restore
Symptoms
After restoring an XML backup from another instance users are unable to log in to Confluence.
Cause
The cwd_application and cwd_app_dir_mapping tables are empty (i.e., they contain no data).
Resolution
- Shutdown Confluence
- Backup your database
Run the following SQL commands, one by one:
INSERT INTO cwd_application (id, application_name, lower_application_name, created_date, updated_date, active, description, application_type, credential )
VALUES ('327681','crowd-embedded','crowd-embedded','2012-8-14 12:00:43','2015-1-14 10:57:35', 'T', 'NULL', 'GENERIC_APPLICATION', 'X');INSERT INTO cwd_app_dir_mapping (id, application_id, directory_id, allow_all, list_index)
VALUES ('393217','327681','360449','T','0');
If the query above results in a foreign key constraint error returned for cwd_directory, then run the following two queries to create an internal directory before proceeding to the query that inserts an admin user:
- Directory entries
INSERT INTO cwd_directory(id,directory_name,lower_directory_name,created_date,updated_date,active,description,impl_class,lower_impl_class,directory_type)
VALUES ('360449','Confluence Internal Directory','confluence internal directory','2020-02-14 13:14:58.331','2020-02-14 13:14:58.331','T','Confluence default internal directory','com.atlassian.crowd.directory.InternalDirectory','com.atlassian.crowd.directory.internaldirectory','INTERNAL');
INSERT INTO cwd_directory_attribute (directory_id, attribute_value, attribute_name) VALUES ('360449','atlassian-security','user_encryption_method');Consider changing the date input format as it depends on the DB configuration. For example: instead of "2020-02-14 13:14:58.331" you can use "to_date('14.02.20','DD.MM.RR')"
- User entries
INSERT INTO cwd_user(id, user_name, lower_user_name, active, created_date, updated_date, first_name, lower_first_name, last_name, lower_last_name, display_name, lower_display_name, email_address, lower_email_address, directory_id, credential)
VALUES (1212121, 'admin', 'admin', 'T', '2009-11-26 17:42:08', '2009-11-26 17:42:08', 'A. D.', 'a. d.', 'Ministrator', 'ministrator', 'A. D. Ministrator', 'a. d. ministrator', 'admin@example.com', 'admin@example.com', (select id from cwd_directory where directory_name='Confluence Internal Directory'), 'x61Ey612Kl2gpFL56FT9weDnpSo4AV8j8+qx2AuTHdRyY036xxzTTrw10Wq3+4qQyB+XURPWx1ONxp3Y3pB37A==');
INSERT INTO user_mapping
VALUES ('2c9681954172cf560000000000000001', 'admin', 'admin');
If you did have to add these 2 as a result of encountering a FK constraint error, go back and try to run the cwd_app_dir_mapping INSERT statement again before proceeding.
INSERT INTO cwd_group(id, group_name, lower_group_name, active, local, created_date, updated_date, description, group_type, directory_id)
VALUES ( '888888','confluence-administrators','confluence-administrators','T','F','2011-03-21 12:20:29','2011-03-21 12:20:29',NULL,'GROUP',(select id from cwd_directory where directory_name='Confluence Internal Directory'));
INSERT INTO cwd_group(id, group_name, lower_group_name, active, local, created_date, updated_date, description, group_type, directory_id)
VALUES ( '999999','confluence-users','confluence-users','T','F','2011-03-21 12:20:29','2011-03-21 12:20:29',NULL,'GROUP',(select id from cwd_directory where directory_name='Confluence Internal Directory'));INSERT INTO cwd_membership (id, parent_id, child_user_id)
VALUES (888888, (select id from cwd_group where group_name='confluence-users' and directory_id=(select id from cwd_directory where directory_name='Confluence Internal Directory')), 1212121);
INSERT INTO cwd_membership (id, parent_id, child_user_id)
VALUES (999999, (select id from cwd_group where group_name='confluence-administrators' and directory_id=(select id from cwd_directory where directory_name='Confluence Internal Directory')), 1212121);UPDATE cwd_user
SET credential =
'x61Ey612Kl2gpFL56FT9weDnpSo4AV8j8+qx2AuTHdRyY036xxzTTrw10Wq3+4qQyB+XURPWx1ONxp3Y3pB37A=='
WHERE id=1212121;After running the above query, restart Confluence and try to log in with the following credentials:
