Symptoms

Users are getting the following error when logging into Fisheye:

Password incorrect or unknown user

Also from Fisheye logs we got:

2011-06-14 11:13:53,999 WARN  [btpool0-59 ] fisheye.app CrowdAuth-authenticate - Problem communicating with Crowd
com.atlassian.crowd.exception.OperationFailedException

	at com.cenqua.fisheye.user.crowd.CrowdAuth$2.call(CrowdAuth.java:207)

and from JIRA logs we have:

Jun 14, 2011 11:13:53 AM com.sun.jersey.server.impl.application.WebApplicationImpl onException
SEVERE: Internal server error
java.lang.NullPointerException

	at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597)

Cause

This happens when the SSO option is left enabled.

Resolution

Disabling SSO will do the trick:

  1. Go to Fisheye Administration.
  2. Click on Authentication under Security Settings.
  3. Click Edit button under JIRA / Crowd Authentication Settings.
  4. Set option Single Sign On to Disabled and click next.
  5. Synchronize group(s) again, save and exit.
