This is the code as of 5-nov-12, is this the code you have?

 

    String groupToRequire = TagUtils.mediaResourceString(mediaKeyOfGroup);

    if (LOG.isDebugEnabled()) {

      LOG.debug("mediaKeyOfGroup: " + mediaKeyOfGroup + ", groupToRequire: " + groupToRequire + ", subject: " + GrouperUtil.subjectToString(subjectLoggedIn));

    }

    if (!StringUtils.isBlank(groupToRequire)) {

     

      GrouperSession grouperSession = null;

     

      //get a session, close it if you started it

      boolean startedSession = false;

      try {

        grouperSession = GrouperSession.staticGrouperSession(false);

        if (grouperSession == null) {

          grouperSession = GrouperSession.startRootSession();

          startedSession = true;

        }

        if (!PrivilegeHelper.isWheelOrRoot(grouperSession.getSubject())) {

          grouperSession = grouperSession.internal_getRootSession();

        }

        Group group = GroupFinder.findByName(grouperSession, groupToRequire, true);

I did more digging, and I think I might have a solution, does it make any sense or should it be done another way ? I’ll be testing it in the next few days since the problem seems intermittent.

 

GrouperUiFilter.java

Method : requireUiGroup (around line 380)

 

FROM :

          if (!PrivilegeHelper.isWheelOrRoot(grouperSession.getSubject())) {

            grouperSession = grouperSession.internal_getRootSession();

          }

 

TO :

        try {

          if (!PrivilegeHelper.isWheelOrRoot(grouperSession.getSubject())) {

            grouperSession = grouperSession.internal_getRootSession();

          }

        } catch (IllegalStateException ise) { // session is invalid, probably stopped, use a new one

          grouperSession = GrouperSession.startRootSession();

          startedSession = true;

        }

Objet : [grouper-dev] UI error

 

Hi,

I’m getting a very unpleasant error in the UI. I configured the “require.group.for.logins“ and I believe it’s causing the problem. I’m running the 2.1.3 UI.

 

Often, when a user logs in, he will get the following error message(see screenshot). If he clicks on any link a few time it usually comes back. This screenshot was made using my sysadmin user, but it will do the same thing using a standard user. I tried looking in the source code using the stacktrace (see below), but didn’t get anywhere.

 

Is it fixable ?

 

Thanks

 

PS. Chris had a fix for me when I first tried a required group (it’s running now), I don’t know if it’s related or not : https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/GRP-840

Looking in the logs, I see the following :
