Asked by Damon Brown:

When logging into confluence, I get the following error. I don't know if this is the right location to ask, but I am looking for support to fix this issue. Thanks

body: Hi Damon,  

It seems that the directory that you were using was removed. You might want to run the following query to make sure that you still have at least one directory:  

SELECT \* FROM cwd_directory;  

Cheers,  
WZ

comments: author: Damon Brown
body: It does seem that I do not have anything in that table. When I installed it, it had asked if I wanted to une existing JIRA installs for my authentication. I believe that's how I ended up here.


author: Peter Van de Voorde
body: And another tip : if you were using SSO through Crowd to sign into your confluence instance you will need to replace the SSOCrowd authenticator in the \<confluence-install\>/confluence/WEB-INF/classes/seraph-config.xml file with the original one. Otherwise it might not even be possible to sign in using your local admin account.

Best regards,

Peter

comments: author: Damon Brown
body: Thanks Peter, to be honest I'm not sure I'm using that at all. I just went through the install and ended up here. I am assuming it may be best to install again?


author: Bruna Griebeler
body: Hi Damon,  

Is very likely that you're trying to login with a user from an external directory correct?  

Please try to login with a local admin, and then double check if you still have your external directory configured in Confluence (Confluence Admin \> User Directories).  

In case you don't have, or don't remember the password of the local admin, take a look at this documentation:
