error changing jasperadmin default password

[barkoco]

I cannot change the default password for jasperadmin using the Manager Users interface.  When entering the new password and confirming it, I get the following error:

 

"Expected a decrypted password in request attribute, but found none"

 

I am entering a new clear text password.  I do have dynamic key encryption enabled (although doesn't seem to work - that's another thread), and login with the unencrypted passwords successfully.

 

So how can the jasperadmin user password be updated?

 

Thanks.

Which version of JasperReports Server are you using? It seems like you're using a community version.

How did you setup your JasperReports Server? Did you use war installation?

Have you tried setting up the following property in jasperserver-servlet.xml?

allowUserPasswordChange="true"

Thanks for your reply hozawa.  I'm running CE 5.5.0.  Someone else installed the server, so not sure if war was installed.

 

I did change allowUserPasswordChange = "true", which shows the password change link on the login page.  I tried changing the password again via the Manage Users page, no luck.  Same error as before.  But, I tried changing the password via the login page (using the new link), and it worked.  So something must be different between the two screens.

 

Thanks for your assistance.  Any advice on my other problem with encrypting data (see posting)?
