I met an issue today when I was trying to login Gitblit 1.9.2 using a local admin account. It failed login and prompt me invalid user name or password. Then I used another windows domain account logged in which was granted admin privilege. Then I found that the user list is empty. I logged into the server where gitblit is installed, and found that the users.conf is empty. I don't know why. Just found some exception in log about failed to read users.conf. I just upgraded to 1.9.3 right now. Hope this issue will never happen again. Please refer to below log:
