AuthenticationSupport service missing. Cannot authenticate request.

AEM 6.5 SP19

4GB max heap, 4 cores

 

We have the very common "AuthenticationSupport service missing. Cannot authenticate request." error.

There are no errors in the logs prior to this one (we created a custom logger for Info and org.apache + com.day.cq).

 

This is our stage environment (out of dev --> stage -> prod). 

 

We have also tried the following to no avail:

Attempt 1

 rm -rf crx-quickstart/launchpad/config/org/apache/sling/jcr/repoinit (Ref.)

Attempt 2

Ref.

rm -rf /author/crx-quickstart/repository/segmentstore/repo.lock
rm -rf /author/crx-quickstart/launchpad/felix/cache.lock

Attempt 3

We don't have custom repoinit scripts. (Also from Ref.)

Attempt 4

rm -rf /author/crx-quickstart/launchpad/felix/cache.lock (Also from Ref.)

Attempt 5

rm -rf crx-quickstart\repository\index (Ref.)

Attempt 6

Navigate to <server:port>/system/console/bundles (admin/admin) and make sure all bundles are started. Click start if they are not. The following are not started and are ok:

what are the major changes you did before getting this error - can you track the changes?

looks to be some corruption with repository. is this error in your local environment?

    We can track our changes and we did not make any unusual changes before it happened. Just normal content changes.

     

    This is our stage environment (out of dev --> stage -> prod).

        Hi @hnordberg ,

        I have encountered this issue in past and for me the RCA  was  "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space" which was giving null exception and that was eventually leading to "AuthenticationSupport service missing" . 
        So try to add the JVM option in your start.bat file and then restart the instance, see if that fix your issue.

        Thanks
        Tarun

          There is no heap error before this error. We use 4GB max heap, 4 cores.
