This was a safety measure to ensure that it is possible to login and make configuration changes in case there is a problem with the external authentication. However, it is also a weakness since the most powerful account is always only protected by a password. Since external authentication is probably used to increase security this should also apply to the root user. In order to solve the issue with a non-working external authentication, an administrator should instead log in to the server (eg. via ssh) and then: 1. Stop the Tomcat server 2. Remove the JAR file responsible for external authentication from the plug-ins directory 3. Re-start the Tomcat server",enhancement,closed,major,BASE 3.5,core,,fixed,,
