SID-02498: Unable to login to Twiki

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	5.1.1	Perl version:
Category:	CategoryAuthentication	Server OS:	Centos 7	Last update:	2 years ago

I am trying to move twiki application from datacenter server to AWS. I have successfully moved everything but unable to login to the twiki URL. Copied required folders from DC to AWS. WE are using Ldap as authentication.

Below is the error message

TWikiUserMapping has TURNED OFF EnableNewUserRegistration, because the password file is read only

Can you please help on how to fix this error OR please provide me instructions on how to enable debug logging so that I can view more logs regarding this issue.

Discussion and Answer

This is an indication that the files are not writable by the webserver user. Make sure all TWiki files and directories are owned by apache or whatever user it is on your system.

All the files and folders are owned by apache user and they can be writable.

What do you have for $TWiki::cfg{PasswordManager}?

-- Peter Thoeny - 2023-01-25

Below are the values.

$TWiki::cfg{PasswordManager} = 'TWiki::Users::LdapUser'; $TWiki::cfg{Ldap}{SecondaryPasswordManager} = 'none';

If you use LDAP login make sure to set also $TWiki::cfg{UserMappingManager} = 'TWiki::Users::LdapUserMapping';

$TWiki::cfg{UserMappingManager} = 'TWiki::Users::LdapUserMapping'; - This already exists in config file.

We have same setup working fine in datacenter. We are in process of moving it to AWS. Is there any way to enable logging on twiki to know more about logging issue.

Your LDAP server is likely inside the firewall. Make sure the LDAP server is accessible from AWS.

Enable the debug flag $TWiki::cfg{Ldap}{Debug}

You can hire one of the TWikiConsultants to help you debug the LDAP integration.
