I also figured out how to fix this issue if you encounter it when using MySQL as your database in CentOS:
| 1. | Stop openfire: |
service openfire start
| 2. | Login to MySQL as root: |
mysql -u root -p
| 3. | Select your openfire database (assuming you called it openfire) |
USE openfire;
| 4. | Show table containing fields: |
SELECT * FROM ofProperty;
5. Do one of the following:
| A. Delete the table (only admin will be able to login once you're done): |
DELETE from ofProperty where name='admin.authorizedJIDs';
| B. Modify the table (all admins will be retained. change SERVERNAME to reflect |
correct names and new Server Name):
UPDATE ofProperty
SET
propValue='admin@SERVERNAME,otheradmin@SERVERNAME'
WHERE name='admin.authorizedJIDs';
6. Exit MySQL:
exit
7. Restart openfire
service openfire start
Now, you'll be able to login again as admin to the web UI.
