Authentication Failed after an AEM 6 upgrade

I followed the instructions to upgrade my author instance 5.6.0 to 6.0 (CRX3).

When I finished, I launched AEM, but couldn't do anything, all I have is this blank page saying Authentication Failed.

The log files show me this:

24.04.2015 14:20:23.741 *INFO* [qtp613729437-31] org.apache.sling.auth.core.impl.SlingAuthenticator handleLoginFailure: Unable to authenticate anonymous user: Unable to login null

What's wrong?

Seems like you migrated using latest oak run bur repo having older version. Follow below steps

1)   Stop the instance

2)   Place sp2 zip file under <cq_home>/crx-quickstart/install

3)   Start the instance

So, my error would be that: I used a 6.0 instance, but migrated my repo with the crx2oak-1.0.12.jar?

Thank you for the solution.

Hi Sham,

I am facing exactly the situation when setting up cold standby instance. Basically we have migrated from AEM 6.1 GA to AEM 6.1 SP2 CFP13. So our standby instance is on AEM 6.1 SP2 CFP13.

Error Details:

*ERROR* [qtp2009784172-142460] com.day.cq.auth.impl.LoginSelectorHandler requestCredentials: Abort login due to apparent misconfiguration.

*ERROR* [qtp2009784172-142460] com.day.cq.auth.impl.LoginSelectorHandler requestCredentials: Possible reasons: login page not existing or not accessible

In the above post you have mentioned the below steps to overcome this issue:

          1) Stop the instance

          2) Place sp2 zip file under <cq_home>/crx-quickstart/install --> Could you please add more clarify on this.

          3) Start the instance

Thanks in advance.
