Error "java.lang.NumberFormatException" when logging in to the SDMS audit trail viewer - WKB2661

SYMPTOMS

• HTTP error code 500 received when logging in to the SDMS audit trail viewer
• type Exception report
• A "java.lang.NumberFormatException" message is displayed in the browser or "java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsExeception:  String index out of range 12
• Valid SDMS user credentials are entered into the Audit Trail Viewer

ENVIRONMENT

• NuGenesis 9 SDMS
• NuGenesis 8 SDMS

CAUSE

The audit trail viewer encrypts the user's password before transmitting it to the server. In some cases, the encrypted password can contain an asterisk (*) or percent sign (%), which interferes with the server's ability to parse the encrypted password.

FIX or WORKAROUND

The audit trail viewer uses a pseudo-random number generated by Apache Tomcat as the encryption key. The number is also known as the session ID. In order to get a new session ID, clear the browser's cache and cookies and then restart the browser.

CRI-92 has been filed for this issue.
