Remove or disable duplicate active users

Beginning with IXIA CCMS Web 6.0, the application server will not support duplicate active users within the system. You must remove or disable one of the two duplicate active entries either before or after running the Web Installer.

It is possible to have duplicate active user entries within CCMS Web, either by having the same name using different email addresses, or vice versa.

As the Web Installer runs, it automatically detects duplicate users. The Web Installer will provide an error report on duplicate users in the installer log file. You can then remove or disable one of the two duplicate active entries once installation completes.

Example error message and server log

If there are duplicate active users, the error message will look something like the following:

Installation successful.
WARNING! The docbase contains duplicate users. Duplicate users won't be able to connect.
For a list of duplicate users, see e:/Ixiasoft/ccms/apache-tomcat-9.0.89/logs/ixiasoft-ccms.log

The application server log will point to the duplicate active users:
