Hi there,

Today my Controller got stuck with high CPU usage, i restarted it and now for some weird reason no one can login i can only acess the /controller/admin.jsp

Inside the server log i got a lot of entries like this:

[#|2021-12-06T22:39:37.411-0300|INFO|glassfish 4.1|javax.enterprise.system.core.security|_ThreadID=69;_ThreadName=http-listener-1(13);_TimeMillis=1638841177411;_LevelValue=800;_MessageID=NCLS-SECURITY-05046;|Audit: Authentication refused for [singularity-agent@customer1].|#]

[#|2021-12-06T22:39:37.412-0300|INFO|glassfish 4.1|javax.enterprise.system.core.security.com.sun.enterprise.security.jmac.callback|_ThreadID=69;_ThreadName=http-listener-1(13);_TimeMillis=1638841177412;_LevelValue=800;|jmac.loginfail|#]

I even tried to create a new Account but now when i log in everything is blank.. in the controller did i break something?

Is it possible to recover what i "destroyed"

Any help is appreciated.

Guys the server is "comming back" i did nothing and all of sudden some parts of the configuration are showing, but i don't see nothing of the instrumentation that i did and when i log in i get this error: 

Error
500 Internal Server Error

Exception Id:b13eec1b-bc08-463d-b77f-19f881a04c67

Looking inside the server.log i see many SEVERE errors, all of them are:

Unable to decrypt AccountAccess Key.
com.singularity.ee.util.security.credentialstore.exception.CryptoOperationFailureException: Failed to decrypt: Input length must be multiple of 16 when decrypting with padded cipher


Here is one of the many stacks that show the same error only different threads:
