Hi all, I just installed Nexus 3 OSS via docker, and I can log in as admin/admin123, but it’s behaving pretty strangely and is not really usable: Simply refreshing the page will log me out as admin user and I have to log in once again I cannot see the Security settings, or really any settings, so…

It sounds like the login session is not being persistent. Is your browser allowing cookies?

I experience the same problem, however, using different browser or private mode does not solve the problem. Nexus used to work for month. Last modification I did was also few month ago. When I log in today it display that I’m logged in and it does not matter what username/password you type in. User…

Just so I understand this a bit better, When you visit the Repo UI it shows you are able to “login” with any username/password (if they they don’t actually exist) and the UI shows the username. Clicking the account settings displays anonymous user. Refreshing the page takes you back to a logged ou…

Yes. I am having the same problem now.
