i am using command line MySQL and after commiting the steps of deleting admin.authorizedJIDs and inserting the new ones. when i use select statement (select * from ofproperty where NAME=‘admin.authorizedJIDs’;), i do see the changes in the table but i still cant login into the Openfire Admin console from the new and also old admin IDs.
You can rerun the setup and specify new admin pass. This hould create the admin again. To rerun the setup, stop Openfire, edit /conf/openfire.xml, change the last tag (setup) to false, then run it again and launch the Admin Console url.
Worked for me after a database move. Couldn’t for the life of me getting an admin back in with any of the XML conf or database changes. Re-running setup and connecting to existing database and re-entering LDAP information through setup got me back to the races.
Admin account got deleted accidentally, I Performed your advise rerun the setup, stop Openfire, edit /conf/openfire.xml, change the last tag (setup) to false, then run it again and launch the Admin Console url where it as asking previous admin password and here i strucked because that user is deleted.
Can you plz suggest more to fix it ?
This issue is fixable, After endless efforts i have overcome this issue but had bad experience bcoz no one replied on my issue from comunity, I edited the HSQL and fixed the issue.
If anyone facing similar just msg here or email talwinderbhangu86@gmail.com i will happy to fix it. Solution is bit complex no matter which OS you have or which database you are with my sollution applied for all.
Talwinder, although I appreciate your attempt to help people recovering from this problem, reviving a thread that many years old probably isn’t the best way of doing this. Furthermore, I would appreciate you writing down your solution, rather than directing people away from this community into your private inbox.
