I had this working with a previous, snapshot version of structr - I wish to use an existing Neo4j installation via Structr and NOT Structr's embedded graph db.

Set-up is :

  • Windows 10
  • Neo4j 3.2.5
  • Structr 2.1.3

After structr starts, it creates a structr.conf file with only entry as superuser.password = somehash

I added the following entry, as I did previously :

superuser.password = somehash

#############################################################################
# Neo4j server settings
#############################################################################

# With driver 'org.structr.bolt.BoltDatabaseService'
# and driver mode 'remote' Structr won't start a Neo4j database
database.driver = org.structr.bolt.BoltDatabaseService
database.driver.mode = remote

database.connection.url = bolt://localhost:7687
database.connection.username = neo4j
database.connection.password = password

Now when I start structr, the admin credentials don't work, the console says :

INFO  org.structr.rest.auth.AuthHelper - No principal found for eMail admin
21:35:08.273 [qtp180489140-23] INFO  o.s.websocket.command.LoginCommand - Unable to login admin, probably wrong password

*********Edit-1*********

I can log-in the db browser with admin credentials

enter image description here

The console output when the structr is started :

Neither a log is created nor could I find any conf directory to have a look at the log or other config. The seed and seed/files folder is empty. The structr.conf file(as shown in the original post) is just 1KB, wondering if anything is missed there !

The remote database is probably not configured with an admin user. Please have a look at logs/structr.log to fiund out whether an admin user is created. There should be something like

11:35:24.856 [main] INFO  org.structr.core.graph.NodeService - Checking if seed file should be imported..
11:35:26.179 [main] INFO  org.structr.core.graph.NodeService - Found initial seed file and no application nodes, applying initial seed..
11:35:26.921 [main] INFO  org.structr.core.graph.SyncCommand - Imported 1 nodes and 0 rels, committing transaction..

You should be able to create a user with the following curl statement:

curl -HX-User:superadmin -HX-Password:yourpassword http://localhost:8082/structr/rest/User -d '{ name: admin, password: admin, isAdmin: true }'

You might need to adjust the quotes in the above command for shells other that unix bash.

    The Structr login credentials are different from the ones used in Neo4j. You will not be able to log into Structr with the credentials you set in Neo4j, you will need to create a User object in Structr (or use the admin/admin entity that is imported from the initial seed.) – Christian Morgner Oct 04 '17 at 08:57
  • admin/admin is what I am using but it doesn't work. Surprisingly, it worked earlier but the conf file was much larger. – Kaliyug Antagonist Oct 04 '17 at 08:58

    As of Structr 2.1, the structr.conf only contains those entries that differ from the default configuration, that's why the file is so small. You will not be able to log into Structr without a User object in the Neo4j database, so we have to find a way to create one. Can you use curl or any other command-line HTTP client? Or maybe some other HTTP client that can create an HTTP POST request to the Structr REST interface? – Christian Morgner Oct 04 '17 at 13:45
  • Ok but then what could be the root cause ? – Kaliyug Antagonist Oct 04 '17 at 13:46

    I think the root cause is that there is no user in the database to log in with. You should be able to create one with the following curl statement: curl -HX-User:superadmin -HX-Password:yourpassword http://localhost:8082/structr/rest/User -d '{ name: admin, password: admin, isAdmin: true }' – Christian Morgner Oct 04 '17 at 13:48
  • Can you edit your answer to include the complete, formatted command ? I am getting an error : At line:1 char:19 + Invoke-WebRequest -HX-User:superadmin -HX-Password:mypassword localho ... + ~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Invoke-WebRequest], ParameterBindingException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NamedParameterNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeWebRequestCommand – Kaliyug Antagonist Oct 06 '17 at 17:40
