OCIS (owncloud I. S.) yields "invalid credentials" error post fresh instal, dietpi's pass not working

[tonosama]

I just installed OwnCloud Infinite Scale on a fresh Raspberry pi 4 (v10.4.2), with 4Gb ram.
I’m not able to login with the same dietpi password.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install OCIS

2. Verify that your installation shows OCIS’s login: https://myip:9200. It does

3. SSH into the same box, and watch OCIS’s logs:
   sudo watch journalctl -u ocis

4. Back to your browser, try to login using admin, and your dietpi’s password.

5. You’re presented with:
   May 21 23:56:19 DietPi ocis[1141]: {“level”:“error”,“service”:“idm”,“bind_dn”:“uid=admin,ou=users,o=libregraph-idm”
,“op”:“bind”,“remote_addr”:“127.0.0.1:40760”,“time”:“2026-05-21T23:56:19Z”,“message”:“invalid credentials”}

I could replicate this in my VM.
I was able to get it working, I deleted everything under /mnt/dietpi_userdata/ocis except the ocis.env file.
Then I re-run the init command, like it’s run in the installion script

runuser -u ocis -- /opt/ocis/ocis init --config-path /mnt/dietpi_userdata/ocis --insecure yes --ap "test"

Now I could login, with admin and the set password test.

So something is wrong with this

			# Config
			if [[ ! -f '/mnt/dietpi_userdata/ocis/ocis.yaml' ]]
			then
				# Replace password strings internally to avoid printing it to console
				G_EXEC_PRE_FUNC(){ acommand[11]="$GLOBAL_PW"; }
				G_EXEC_POST_FUNC(){ sed --follow-symlinks -i "/^ *password/s/:.*/: ${GLOBAL_PW//?/X}/" "$fp_log"; cat "$fp_log"; }
				G_EXEC setpriv --re{u,g}id='ocis' --clear-groups --reset-env -- /opt/ocis/ocis init --config-path /mnt/dietpi_userdata/ocis --insecure yes --ap "${GLOBAL_PW//?/X}"
			fi

The default password would be admin, but this is also not working, so the init command from the script is executed. But it does not use the correct password for some reason.

I think the index of acommand is wrong.

OK I tested it, the index is indeed wrong, the index for the password is 13 and not 11 @MichaIng.
I will correct it and make a PR.

@tonosama if you like you can use this command for a workaround and then reinstall

sed -i 's/G_EXEC_PRE_FUNC(){ acommand\[11\]=\"\$GLOBAL_PW\"; }/G_EXEC_PRE_FUNC(){ acommand[13]="$GLOBAL_PW"; }/' /boot/dietpi/dietpi-software

edit:

PR is out: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/pull/8160

Many thanks for reporting. The fix has been merged for upcoming release.

You should be able to login with the password XXXXXXXXXXX i.e. as many X as characters in your actual password. Of course makes sense to change that ASAP .

@MichaIng

XXXXXXXXXXX

Firs things first…
SWEET CARNATION EVAPORATED MILK!!
Thank you guys!! man, I wasn’t expecting an answer so quick and a PR, wow, you guys ROCK!! I’ve posted in other projects…and… “SHAKA When the walls fell”…

I’m running into a sm issue:
this command:
sd -i ‘s/G_EXEC_PRE_FUNC(){ acommand[11]="$GLOBAL_PW"; }/G_EXEC_PRE_FUNC(){ acommand[13]=“$GLOBAL_PW”; }/’ /boot/dietpi/dietpi-software

yields:
-bash: sd: command not found

I’m running a very light, light, fresh install

I tried the reinstall and the XXXXXs matching the pass.length, and now I can’t login to ocis:

I can wait for the PR to make a release…not mission critical on my end.
Again, thank you!!!

@tonosama

I’m running into a sm issue:
this command:
sd -i ‘s/G_EXEC_PRE_FUNC(){ acommand[11]="$GLOBAL_PW"; }/G_EXEC_PRE_FUNC(){ acommand[13]=“$GLOBAL_PW”; }/’ /boot/dietpi/dietpi-software

yields:
-bash: sd: command not found

It is sed:

sed -i 's/G_EXEC_PRE_FUNC(){ acommand\[11\]=\"\$GLOBAL_PW\"; }/G_EXEC_PRE_FUNC(){ acommand[13]="$GLOBAL_PW"; }/' /boot/dietpi/dietpi-software

[tonosama]

Yup! It worked! Thank you!!!
just for posterity, in case someone runs into the same issues:

prefix @MichaIng 's command with sudo if you’re sshing with dietpi.
I uninstalled, and reinstalled OCIS… and it worked!!!

Thank you both! @MichaIng @Jappe
