SRID = c588c124-c5db-4e1f-86d7-ea1b3b919ca6
Please report this server error to and include the SRID into your report.
I learned that this is due to the user admin being in REALM PAM which is not supported. The error message, however, does not really indicate that.
DOD
- pylib responds "passwords cannot be changed using this tool in REALM PAM".
Changes might be needed in caosdb-server.
To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
