Cannot Create New Users

ReportServer (EN)
1

Hi,

I have been trying to create new users by going to ‘User Management’ and adding a new user. However, whenever i click on ‘Activate’, an error pops up with the following text -

Error
500 The call failed on the server; see server log for details Statuscode: 500 EncodedResponse: The call failed on the server; see server log for details

The log file displays the following error

Can someone please help me with this?

Thanks

Hi Naved,

this looks as if something is wrong with the message template used to generate the notification email that is sent to the newly created user. Have you changed anything in the etc/security/activateuser.cf file?

Cheers,
Thorsten

Hi Thorsten,

I haven’t changed anything in etc/security/activateuser.cf file.

This is what the file looks like


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
   <security>
      <activateaccount>
         <email>
            <subject>${msgs['net.datenwerke.rs.passwordpolicy.service.locale.PasswordPolicyMessages']['activateEmailSubject']}</subject>
            <text>${msgs['net.datenwerke.rs.passwordpolicy.service.locale.PasswordPolicyMessages']['activateEmailSalutation']} ${user.getFirstname()} ${user.getLastname()}, 

${msgs['net.datenwerke.rs.passwordpolicy.service.locale.PasswordPolicyMessages']['activateEmailIntro']}

   ${url}

${msgs['net.datenwerke.rs.passwordpolicy.service.locale.PasswordPolicyMessages']['activateEmailAccount']}

   ${msgs['net.datenwerke.rs.passwordpolicy.service.locale.PasswordPolicyMessages']['activateEmailUsername']} ${user.getUsername()}
   ${msgs['net.datenwerke.rs.passwordpolicy.service.locale.PasswordPolicyMessages']['activateEmailPassword']} ${password}

${msgs['net.datenwerke.rs.passwordpolicy.service.locale.PasswordPolicyMessages']['activateEmailEnd']}

</text>
         </email>
      </activateaccount>
   </security>
</configuration>

Hi Naved,

Just to make sure it’s the right thing to look at, can you try changing it into this:
(You have to reload your configuration via the terminal or restart the server after making changes to the file)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
   <security>
      <activateaccount>
         <email>
            <subject>ASD</subject>
            <text>FGH</text>
         </email>
      </activateaccount>
   </security>
</configuration>

Hi Thorsten,

This is working fine. I believe there is some issue while generating the password.

Okay, so at least the message template are really to blame. Let"s try something a little more complicated

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
   <security>
      <activateaccount>
         <email>
            <subject>ASD</subject>
            <text>${user.getLastname()}</text>
         </email>
      </activateaccount>
   </security>
</configuration>

You probably see, where this is going: Let’s add stuff to the template until it breaks. Can you do this on your own?

Hi Thorsten,

It breaks when printing just the username. I’m attaching the log.

That seems to be a different error, probably some special character that got into the file by using copy/paste.
I’ll send you an email.
