Hello, @thanigaivel.a. What version of the Log Server do you have? Did you use any dashes or special characters in the password? If so, we had a patch in NLS 2.0.1 version that addresses this issue.

@thanigaivel.a, You said you can't create both Local users or LDAP users, correct? When you were trying to create a local user did you use any dashes or special characters in the password? Can you try to create a simple local user: username: testuser password:password. I'm just trying to figure out whether it's some kind of database failture or a special character issue.
Also, please send in your system profile so I can examine it. To download your system profile go to the Admin menu, then system Status and click on Download System Profile. Once you get the zip file please upload it in this thread.

It might also be interesting to see the ElasticSearch logs, since insert failures typically show up there. They can be found here:

Code: Select all
