Missing fields on Create Admin screen

I had my developer put the redback-248 patch into our Continuum test
environment (1.4.1-SNAPSHOT) to fix the passwords not required issue.

However, the first screen that appears is the Create Admin screen with no
data entry fields on it.

It shows the correct admin account, and has prompts for Full Name and Email
Address, but has no data entry fields for them.  Of course, clicking "Create
Admin" just adds the "required" errors to the screen.

The admin account exists, and has been updated in the security user
assignment and roles tables; the account also exists in the LDAP.

so what have we mis-configured?

Thanks for the help,

Louis

2 issues found:

1) security.properties and application.xml were out of synch.
2) 1/2 of the required code change was done - although the redback patch had
been applied - the notes in the e-mail trail of additional code AFTER the
248 patch were missed the first time.

This resolved the issue with Oracle LDAP allowing a no-password login.

Thank you!

On to 1.4.2 testing and required enhancements....

Louis,

It will be much easier to suggest a cause if you can post some of the
appropriate content. Some of the relevant files are your security.properties
and perhaps what you've configured in the plexus descriptors where you've
configured the ldap components. Also, the logs should tell  you some
information, like whether or not the admin user was found. Continuum doesn't
ask for admin user details if it can locate the appropriate admin account in
the LDAP tree. My bet is that your configuration either doesn't point to the
right location or doesn't refer to the right name for the admin user.
Without more details it is hard to say definitively.
