I have set up a new instance of ODK aggregate, tomcat6 and mysql. Then i try and log in for the first time using the google apps email set in the installer i get the following error. same happening for a previous site installed. Any way to log on initially without using the google apps account?

Bashir, One idea: Make sure that you're capitalizing your login address precisely the way you did when you entered it into the installer. Alternatively, set the security.server.superUserUsername property in security.properties (and see the comments in security.properties for more details).

Check your catalina.log for error details. A common problem is to have the system time set improperly, giving an error like: Feb 1, 2012 5:02:41 PM org.openid4java.consumer.AbstractNonceVerifier seen WARNING: Nonce is too old: 2012-02-01T12:00:20ZmhjAZk0Ti\_hX-w Feb 1, 2012 5:02:41 PM org.openid4java.consumer.ConsumerManagerImpl verify SEVERE: Nonce verification failed. As far as I can tell, this seems to be an issue if the BIOS clock and the operating system clock are out of alignment. It appears that setting the operating system clock manually will correct the problem. Otherwise, this wiki provides info on the configuration options: [http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/wiki/AggregateDeploymentConfiguration](http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/wiki/AggregateDeploymentConfiguration) should you want to eliminate the need for the Google authentication. Keep in mind that this is lightly tested code, as we primarily use it for automated tests.

Thanks that worked, synchronised time with NTP server now it works 100%. Will keep in ind for future deployments to sync using ntp.
