Exact steps to cause this issue

1. Install and setup NodeBB as in the documentation
2. create initial administrrator account
3. restart NodeBB
4. login with administrator account

What you expected

The user is logged in and has access to NodeBB admin dashboard

What happened instead

Error message saying identification certificate is invalid.

• Tried multiple times, same result
• Changed password using NodeBB CLI, retry, same result
• Created a new user account, made user admin using NodeBB CLI : user can login but is denied access to admin dashboard.

Anything else?

I can't understand where the user accounts are saved. My Mongo DB has only 2 collections "objects" and "sessions" and none contains user data. Where is NodeBB data stored ???

[julianlam]

In objects.

Can you show us the error, either copy pasted or screenshot?

I finally succeeded to login after changing the password using the password reset email link and the same password as before. Seems that the CLI doesn't set the password correctly, maybe using a wrong secret ?

Seems like trying to reset password via cli crashes,

Will get it fixed for 3.5.2
