Thread-topic: [nv-l] Netview Web Console Security
Hello Meyos
 
I'm having a similar problem with the web console security...
I made a little research and found that the problems appear when you restart the webserver through the Web console Security applicaiton...
 
The Netview Support Page reports a bug something like that, and says there are some hung jetty processes left which contain wrong security configurations (or something like that).... Actually, i think that the Web Console Clients connect to this corrupt process instead to the pure one... The support page says to kill the process and restart the webserver by ovstart..... This is why rebooting the server works to temporarily fix the problem!
 
Lesson:
Dont restart the webserver when the Web Console security prompts you to do so.... Just exit and ovstop ovstart....

Hmmm - running out of ideas...
Have you deleted one of your rogue users and recreated it?
Could you have white space somewhere at the end of a username and / or role?
Check and make sure that you only have 1 jetty (webserver) process running.

Have you bounced all your NetView daemons and checked that they have
really all gone - no orphans left around to confuse things? (I use ps
-ef | grep ov as a good start on this).

Otherwise, I think it's time to call Support.

Cheers,
Jane
