Glassfish 4 - cannot log into Administration Console

Question

This will probably get flagged as a duplicate of this, but it hasn't yet been answered and I don't have enough rep to ask them if they have found a solution.

So I have Glassfish4 setup on a Raspi on my LAN. I can see port 8080 just fine. However, when I go to the Admin port I see this.

So I need to enable Secure Admin. Everything goes smooth until restart-domain.

pi@raspberrypi:/home/downloads/glassfish4/glassfish/bin $ sudo ./asadmin change-admin-password
    Enter admin user name [default: admin]>admin
    Enter the admin password>
    Enter the new admin password>
    Enter the new admin password again>
    Command change-admin-password executed successfully.

pi@raspberrypi:/home/downloads/glassfish4/glassfish/bin $ sudo ./asadmin enable-secure-admin
    Enter admin user name>  admin
    Enter admin password for user "admin">
    You must restart all running servers for the change in secure admin to take effect.
    Command enable-secure-admin executed successfully.
    
pi@raspberrypi:/home/downloads/glassfish4/glassfish/bin $ sudo ./asadmin restart-domain
    NCLS-ADMIN-00010
    NCLS-ADMIN-00010
    NCLS-ADMIN-00010
    NCLS-ADMIN-00010
    NCLS-ADMIN-00010
    NCLS-ADMIN-00010
    NCLS-ADMIN-00010
    NCLS-ADMIN-00010
    NCLS-ADMIN-00010
    NCLS-ADMIN-00010
    NCLS-ADMIN-00010
    NCLS-ADMIN-00010
    NCLS-ADMIN-00010
    NCLS-ADMIN-00010
    NCLS-ADMIN-00010
    NCLS-ADMIN-00010
    NCLS-ADMIN-00010
    NCLS-ADMIN-00010
    NCLS-ADMIN-00010
    ...

After that I cannot even check the Admin Log-in screen. So I check the logs and here is what is happening.

I going out on a limb and thinking it has to do with security-keys, but the constant looping of message in the shell makes me think otherwise.

Thanks for any help. I can provide more things if you think it will help.

Answer 1

I had the same problem after clean install of glassfish-5.0-web-b16-07_30_2017 on Solaris 11.3 with JDK 1.8.0_60-b27. Was trying to update Solaris 11.3 jdk-8 package, but the answer from Oracle repository was "no updates available". But I knew that there was newer version of JDK. So after downloading the file jdk-8u144-solaris-x64.tar.gz and installing it everythig started to work :)
