User/Role List could not be obtained pentaho - pentaho

I am installing pentaho 8.1 CE on ubuntu 16.04
have made change of bd from HSQLDB to Mysql, tables have been created, jackrabbit, hibernate and hibernate.
When starting the server, not login, I imagine that the users are missing or not created. ??
the error that throws me in
catalina.out
ERROR [CompositeUserRoleListService] User / Role List could not be obtained.
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Target of Bean was never resolved: org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetailsService

Database Jackrabbit no created tables..
any idea?

When changing the back-end database, there's a few things you need to make sure you check.
repository.xml
quartz.properties
hibernate-settings.xml
[your-database].hibernate.cfg.xml
context.xml (in WEB-INF)
You'll need to confirm the settings for the connection to the new database has been properly configured in all of these different config files. Some additional details on how to config these files for MySQL specifically can be found in the documentation here: https://help.pentaho.com/Documentation/8.1/Setup/Installation/Archive/MySQL_Repository
Past that, make sure that you delete the "repository" directory inside of /pentaho-solutions/system/jackrabbit as this is an index of the repository. If you change your database back-end, then this index needs to be rebuilt. The index is rebuilt automatically if the server sees that "repository" directory doesn't exist at startup.

I've found the same issue on Windows Server 2016 and MySQL8.0, with Pentaho 8.0.2.
Starting Pentaho server from the start-pentaho.bat command, everything was fine.
The problem arise when I was using Tomcat.
The solution was to be sure that Tomcat service was running with the LOCAL SYSTEM account.
If the Tomcat service runs with lower privileges, maybe it can't access to the pentaho-solutions directory and it cannot load the required java beans.

if everything as per the document is configured correctly, then You might be missing the connection change in applicationContext-spring-security-hibernate.properties, please check that.

ApacheDS service crashing after adding schema

I am running Apache Directory as a service on Windows 10.
I installed and ran the service and it ran without difficulties. Then, using the Apache Directory Studio (in Schema Mode), I created a new schema project, added a new schema with a single object type and a single attribute type, exported the new schema information to an LDIF file, and imported it back into the LDAP browser (as instructed in https://directory.apache.org/apacheds/basic-ug/2.3.1-adding-schema-elements.html).
As instructed, I then attempted to restart the ApacheDS service.
The ApacheDS service now will not start! When I attempt to start it now, it consistently shows the following failure message:
error 1067: the process terminated unexpectedly
Does anyone know what is broken in the server that causes this failure? How can I fix this problem and get the service to run again?
The error could be anything, and might be as well unrelated to the schema update, to get more debug info, change FATAL in conf to DEBUG.

simple-jdin/jdbc.properties is ignored in pentaho-server 8.2

If we need to perform queries in pentaho data integration (IDE), we need to add manually the datasource in simple-jdin/jdbc.properties
MyDatabase/type=javax.sql.DataSource
MyDatabase/driver=org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
MyDatabase/url=jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost/sampledata
MyDatabase/user=pentaho_admin
MyDatabase/password=password
This works as expected in the ide known as pentaho data integration, spoon or kettle.
But, the same in pentaho server 8.2 does not works.
Steps to reproduce the error
deploy or upload the transformation(.ktr) in the pentaho-server 8.2
add manually the datasource in the server /../pentaho-server/pentaho-solutions/system/simple-jndi/jdbc.properties
executed the transformation using pentaho server web console : run in background or schedule options
error: datasource not found
Alternative
Create the datasource manually using web console of pentaho server instead of manually modification of file : /../pentaho-server/pentaho-solutions/system/simple-jndi/jdbc.properties
Question
simple-jndi/jdbc.properties works in server or is just for development purposes (pdi)?
are the settings available in jdbc.properties file on server can you verify the same by referring to the pentaho data integrator > simple-jndi folder.
also are you able to connect to the database from the server may be using a database client to confirm.
NOTE:whenever you work with databases make sure you relevant library files to connect to the respective database.
From my personal experience, I was not able to make the server pick JNDI connection definitions from the simple-jndi/jdbc.properties file when the Pentaho Server was running with Tomcat.
I was only able to use JNDI on the Pentaho Server by defining JNDI Datasources in the Tomcat configuration files.

Unable to Publish SQL Server 2014 database using Web Deploy in VS 2013

Its been quite sometime that I am trying to publish the data base for my website using webdeploy in VS 2013 but I keep getting the following error:
Web deployment task failed. (Could not generate deployment script.
Internal Error. The database platform service with type Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.Sql.Sql120DatabaseSchemaProvider is not valid. You must make sure the service is loaded, or you must provide the full type name of a valid database platform service.
I have tried installing the new updates. I am making sure that the local server is running during deployment. I have made sure that I enter the full server name rather than a dot. I have literally done everything that I could think of but to no avail.
Can anyone help me, please?
The issue might be related to VisualStudioVersion environment variable, which needs to be set to VisualStudioVersion=11.0 or VisualStudioVersion=12.0 to support SQL Server 2014. Check this answer, also here is the info how to target the VisualStudioVersion.

What permissions are required for Orchard CMS?

I used the web platform installer to install the Orchard CMS but when the setup web page comes up for the CMS, once I submit my details, the following error is shown on the orchard system for the first time:
Setup failed: Exception has been
thrown by the target of an invocation.
Exception has been thrown by the
target of an invocation. Access is
denied. (Exception from HRESULT:
0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))
I have checked my application pool and that user has full permissions to the app data folder which is where the local database is created (I think that is where it is falling over).
It creates a error log file at the same time but it is empty which is handy.
Anyone else had any issues with running the first time setup?
I have looked on there project site but troubleshooting documentation is very thin: http://www.orchardproject.net/docs/Installing-Orchard.ashx
Ok, here is a solution.
Although I managed to install Orchard using the existing SQL Server, I was still curious about this issue and not working with SQL Server Compact. Apparently it was some permission problem with folder where SQL CE should be put, well that was my thinking.
Then I found this answer here at SO Deploying SQL CE 4 to IIS 7 - Special Permissions Needed? and kaboom! that's it. There were no permissions on bin folder for IUSR, even though I added it for parent folder. Hm, whatever happened, now it's gone.
Might be unrealted but the very first thing you should check is whether the app pool is configured to use .NET 4.0.
