Can't list users in admin tools

[narkuss]

Hi all,
when I go to Administrative tools -> Users, Alfresco tries to retrieve users using enterprise endpoint:

Versions:
Alfresco Share v6.2.0-RC4
Alfresco Community v6.2.0-ea

[fabtrie]

I can confirm the issue with Alfresco Share v6.2.0. I also verified, that the issue is not present in Share v6.1.0.

This issue was introduced in Share by the fix required for MNT-20723, PR#115 - Share.

As a workaround that fixes this issue, show-authorization-status property needs to be set to false.

This can be achieved by editing tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\share-config.xml and set this property to false, it can be found at line 132.
From
<show-authorization-status>true</show-authorization-status>
To
<show-authorization-status>false</show-authorization-status>

Edit:
A restart is required for the changes to take place.

As a temporary workaround until the next release of share, you can modify the share Dockerfile in your SDK, or create a custom image from share 6.2.0 and add this lines:

# Patch for https://github.com/Alfresco/acs-community-packaging/issues/367
RUN sed -i 's@<show-authorization-status>true</show-authorization-status>@<show-authorization-status>false</show-authorization-status>@' \
	$TOMCAT_DIR/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/share-config.xml

As already expressed on the Alfresco IRC channel today, there should never have been a config option for this. Other console tools show how the license / edition of Alfresco should be checked to toggle Enterprise-specific functionality without requiring a config option.

This worked for me

What do we do with this RUN line? Does it go in the docker-compose.yml? Where?

It goes in DockerFile. But it doesn't work as share-config-custom.xml at /usr/local/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension/share-config-custom.xml always replaces the config. You can update the value 'false' in share-config-custom.xml instead.

RUN sed -i 's@<show-authorization-status>true</show-authorization-status>@<show-authorization-status>false</show-authorization-status>@' \
	$TOMCAT_DIR/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension/share-config-custom.xml

@abhinavmishra14 thanks. I just have the docker-compose.yml I downloaded form https://www.alfresco.com/thank-you/thank-you-downloading-alfresco-community-edition

it looks like I might be able to use "command" in the docker-compose.yml to run the sed command. I will find out!

[douglasawh]

what I ended up doing was pull down 6.1.0 instead of 6.2.0 (or 6.2.2) in the docker-compose.yml. That resolved the issue. I had already kicked off the docker-compose up when I said I would try "command", but I hadn't actually tried it. I guess I wasn't super confident that would work, lol. glad it did!

I don't know what other issues I might face, but I will keep the command option in mind in case we run into something else. Higher priority items at the moment than the command option. Thanks again for the help.

@douglasawh You can have a look at this docker-compose.yml and take a reference on DockerFile usage.
