Symptoms

You have integrated Bamboo to use LDAP for user management but after that, the dashboard becomes empty and in some other tabs clumsy. The following appears in the log files:

The following screenshots elaborate the issue:

Cause

The hibernate provider class is missing from the atlassian-user.xml file. According to our documentation:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BAMBOO/Integrating+Bamboo+with+LDAP

setp 2, point 3:

Please ensure that the following line is also active in your atlassian-user.xml (it should be there by default):

<hibernate name="Hibernate Repository" key="hibernateRepository"  description="Hibernate Repository" />

the Hibranate provider has to be in atlassian-user.xml along with LDAP provider.

Resolution

Check the $HOME\xml-data\configuration\atlassian-user.xml file and ensure that the hibernate class above is included.
