We have upgraded sonarqube from 7.4 to 7.9.1 where we need to upgrade sonar-crowd plugin from 2.1.1 to 2.1.3.
After the upgrade, sonar application is starting up as expected without Crowd config. But while starting up with crowd, it fails at the start up.
Here is the crowd config on sonar properties.
#-------------------
# Sonar Crowd Plugin
#-------------------
# To first try to authenticate against the external sytem.
# If the external system is not reachable or if the user is not defined in the external system, the authentication will be performed through the SonarQube internal system.
sonar.security.realm=Crowd
# URL of the Crowd server.
crowd.url=https://mycompany:8443/crowd/
# Crowd application name.
# Default is 'sonar'.
crowd.application=sonar
# Crowd application password.
crowd.password=password
# Crowd group sync
crowd.groups.sync=true
# Don't use crowd for sonar account
sonar.security.localUsers=admin,sonar
# Don't save passwords incase Crowd is down
sonar.security.savePassword=false
# Don't create users, they must come from Crowd
sonar.authenticator.createUsers=false
Here is the web log error
