Problem getting Psi Probe to work (Error 403)

[Hans im Glück]

Hi all,

I'd like to use Psi Probe on our Tomcat 7, but having problems to get it to work.

First of all I'd like to list some specs of our system environment:

• OS: Windows Server 2008 R2
  
• WebServer: Apache Tomcat/7.0.47

I deployed Psi probe using the Tomcat manager tool. I also added the user information to tomcat-users.xml, but every time I try to request the Psi Probe frontend, my server only delivers an Error 403 ("You do not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Please use the navigation bar to choose another area or click "back" button in your browser. ")

Can anyone help me to fix this problem, because I have no clue what to do ;-)

Thanks in advance

Sorry for latest response.  Are you still experiencing issues?  This should work without issue in tomcat 7 update 47.  If possible, please provide some screen shots of issues you are experiencing.  If you resolved issue and you think it might require an adjustment to the library, please see us over on github with a pull request.

Thanks,

Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,

this weekend we updated the software on our web server:

• Tomcat 7.0.68
• Java 7 Update 80 64Bit
• Psi Probe 3.0.0

Nevertheless, I'm still getting the error message "You do not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Please use the navigation bar to choose another area or click "back" button in your browser."

I attached a screenshot of my user config file.

Best regards

In the log file I attached in my last reply, there was a NullPointerException.  I figured out how to fix that problem.

In the file, web/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/spring-probe-resources.xml move the Tomcat[Version]ContainerAdapter you are using to the top of the list, or remove the versions you are not using.  This does not solve the 403 problem.

<bean id="containerWrapper" class="psiprobe.beans.ContainerWrapperBean">

                <!--

                        Setting this property to true will override the server polling each

                        adapter performs to test for compatibility.  Instead, it will use

                        the first one in the list below.  Reorder those values if necessary.

                -->

                <property name="forceFirstAdapter" value="false"/>

                <property name="adapterClasses">

                        <list>

                                <value>psiprobe.Tomcat90ContainerAdapter</value>

                                <value>psiprobe.Tomcat80ContainerAdapter</value>

                                <value>psiprobe.Tomcat70ContainerAdapter</value>

                        </list>

                </property>

                <property name="resourceResolvers">

                        <map>

                                <entry key="jboss" value-ref="jbossResourceResolver"/>

                                <entry key="default" value-ref="defaultResourceResolver"/>

                        </map>

                </property>

        </bean>

Figured out the fix for this:

Open the file web/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml and scroll to the bottom of the page.  There is a listing of security roles psi-probe is expecting.  Create those roles in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml and assign those roles to users.  The page magically appears.

There is one problem however.  The only log files that show up are catalina.out and probe.log.  Is there some sort of configuration that will include other log files in the directory?  Or is this a bug?
