Geoportal login issues

AlexGole — Sat, 11 Dec 2021 12:02:27 GMT

Hi all,

I am currently try to install geoportal on my machine and everything seems to work great besides my login.

Here is my config:

PostgreSQL 9.1.25

Java 7

Geoportal 1.2.5

Apache Tomcat 7.0.5

PostgreSQL driver for apache Tomcat 7 “postgresql-9.1-902.jdbc4.jar”

geoportal xml:

<!-- Context configuration file for the Geoportal Web App -->

<Context docBase="geoportal" path="/geoportal" debug="0" reloadable="true" crossContext="true">
          <Resource name="jdbc/gpt" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
                 driverClassName="org.postgresql.Driver"
                 url="jdbc:postgresql://db_server:5432/geoportaldb"
                 username="geoportal"
                 password="Alex9200"
                 maxActive="20"
                 maxIdle="10"
                 maxWait="-1" />
         </Context>

Here is the message I get:

"Your username or password was not valid, please try again... "

Any idea why? I should be able to login the admin page.

Thank you,

Alex

hi, have you configured the simple authentication model or LDAP?

That is where I got lost. I first set it up as "simple authentication model" then changed to LDAP. It now works great! I love this application and I am spending some time configuring it in order to eventually show it to my coworkers.

I have a completely different question (frequently asked by my co-workers) that i am trying to elucidate:

What's the difference between Portal for ArcGIS and Geoportal Server (besides the look and feel/usability)? There is not much documentation on it. Does Geoportal Server have functionalities that portal does not have (metadata?)?

I am going to implement either one or the other (or both?).

Thank you for your help,

Alex
