I tried using the upgrader on a test instance copy and I see the same issue. This is the error message:

Also, FYI, the upgrader copied over the version of ojdbc6_g.jar that I need for our Oracle database, which caused database access to fail until I replaced it.

Do you want to take a copy of an env that works, and try the installer to upgrade it? Maybe keep the output so if it works you can see what it did differently than what you did?

Thanks,

I did the manual upgrade of configs/jars (not really comfortable with the installer yet). I could see members of various groups I tested, but there were a couple of others that failed too. I happen to also have explicit admin rights on

etc/webServiceActAsGroup, so it's especially weird that I couldn't view it.

groups.wheel.use and groups.wheel.group are both set correctly.

How did you do the upgrade? Using the installer or updating configs/jars?

Are you unable to see members of just that group? Or all groups? Or just groups that you don't explicitly have read privileges?

Does your grouper.properties (grouper/WEB-INF/classes/grouper.properties) have the correct settings for

groups.wheel.use and groups.wheel.group?

Thanks!

After the upgrade, my account, which is in the etc/sysadmingroup, can no longer view the members of

etc/webServiceActAsGroup in the UI. This comes back if I downgrade to 2.2.1.
