[Geoserver-users] UserGroupRoleServicesPage returns HTTP 400 - Bad Request

[Hellmund, T. <tob...@io...>]

Hello everybody,

I have installed a GeoServer 2.18.4 (from the image https://hub.docker.com/r/geosolutionsit/geoserver/) in a K8S environment.
The server is up and running, I can properly log in and access it. It has a volume mounted and can write to that volume.

My issue: I cannot navigate to the UserGroupsRoleServicePage, where I want to change the admin password
(../geoserver/web/wicket/bookmarkable/org.geoserver.security.web.UserGroupRoleServicesPage?4-5.ILinkListener-panel-tabs~container-tabs-1-link&filter=false). I receive as response a HTTP Status 400 - Bad Request.

In the logs, I find two exceptions, but these do not refer to my problem. They happen at the start up of GeoServer and are

14 Sep 07:26:42 ERROR [geoserver.logging] - Could not configure log4j overrides
com.thoughtworks.xstream.io.StreamException:
...

Caused by: java.io.EOFException: input contained no data

        at org.xmlpull.mxp1.MXParser.fillBuf(MXParser.java:2983)

and



14 Sep 07:26:47 WARN [org.geoserver] - Failed to load logging configuration file 'logging.xml'

com.thoughtworks.xstream.io.StreamException:

...

Caused by: java.io.EOFException: input contained no data


On accessing the page, giving the HTTP 400 error, nothing new is shown in the log.

I have not found information about this issue on the mailing list (maybe I have missed it in the vast amount of information, in that case: sorry, could you please provide a fitting thread?).

What do I need to do to fix this? I do not assume it is a bug, since this must have been found by someone else before.

I am looking forward for you input!

Best regards,
Tobias
