password authentication forced after upgrade to Servoy 8.0.2

Classic Servoy
1

Good afternoon everybody,

I ran in some trouble after upgrading and migrating my solution from a 10.6.8 to a 10.11.03 mac OSX server. When I start the servoy-client the servoy standard authentication form forces me to provide a password. How can I get rid of that and access the solution?

That’s what I did:
upgrade/migrated from: mac OSX server 10.6.8, JDK 1.6.0_65, servoy application server (with developper) 6.0.7, postgresql 9.0
to a new server: mac OSX server 10.11.3, JRE 1.8.0_73-b02, servoy application server (without developper) 8.0.2, postgresql 9.3

I exported the solution and the database from the old system and imported it on a client machine running the same configurations as the above mentioned target server and tested it. So far so good. Then I migrated the old to the new server by using the migration assistant from apple. Then uninstalled the postgresql 9.0 and servoy 6. Installed the new postgresql 9.3 and servoy application (without developper) 8.0.2 and imported db and solution. When I try the webstart from two different machines it shows me two different “default” user name. In the past I didn’t use any user/pw’s.

All hint’s in which direction to look are highly appreciated.

Cheers and thank you.

Have a look at https://wiki.servoy.com/display/Serv52/ … d+Security
This might explain what you are experiencing. As you were already using 6 and had no login in smart client, I guess you disabled advanced authentication.
So make sure the contents of the servoy.properties file in your old 6.x install and in the new one are similar.

Maybe the pages need an update: the link to svn no longer exists…

Yes, the 5.2 docs are quite old.
SVN migrated meanwhile to https://svn.servoy.com/examples/

The “must authenticate” was unchecked - I found that the Users in the application server were not properly assigned to the groups. After deleting the users, creating new ones and assign them to groups the login was possible. The “must authenticate” is still unchecked.
I it possible connecting the servoy-client without any Login?

Thank you all for helping.

Not for servoy smart client.
Servoy web client & ng client can still work without login.
