Request failed: org.apache.jackrabbit.vault.packaging.PackageException: javax.jcr.nodetype.ConstraintViolationException: OakConstraint0021: /home/users/system/danta/zuskqdMThcLm-W1-QBV4[[rep:SystemUser]]: Mandatory property rep:principalName not found in a new node (500)

This is to "danta-config-service". To fix this:

• Go to Package Manager (/crx/packmgr/index.jsp)
• Upload SystemUser-DantaBase-1.0.0.zip
• Install
• Run maven build command again (re: Deploy to AEM)

or you can install via command line:

curl -u admin:admin -F file=@"SystemUser-DantaBase-1.0.0.zip" -F name="SystemUser-DantaBase-1.0.0.zip" \
        -F force=true -F install=true http://localhost:4505/crx/packmgr/service.jsp
