    Hi,

    I just grabbed and updated to the latest Pre-A today. No for reason I can't figure out I can't log on. Right after the password it just drops.
    Nothing blocked.

    Node log:
    2022.02.21 15:16:48 HSM logged in
    2022.02.21 15:16:48 Set time left 999
    2022.02.21 15:16:48 Setting time left to 999
    2022.02.21 15:16:48 Setting start menu:
    2022.02.21 15:16:48 Error Loading Menu:
    2022.02.21 15:16:48 Shutting down

    Nothing in the prelogon menu that should prevent it loading for me.

    Suggestions?

    Thanks!

    ... That's not a bug, it's an undocumented feature

    My guess is you have the start menu set to a white space value (ie spaces) for whatever your security level is. If you go into System Configuration -> Security Level Editor and check the Start Menu value it might be set to a space or something.

    I'll also make an update that will automatically trim that off if it happens in the future so that it won't result in an error.

    Here is more information from the whatsnew:

    + The "Start Menu" field in the Security Profile editor no longer copies onto
    the user's record when upgrading user access. Instead, Mystic check the
    start menu for the user's security profile on login. The start menu
    logic works as follows:

    IF: User's record has a custom start menu defined, use it
    ELSE: If User's security level profile has a start menu defined, use it
    ELSE: Use default start menu from System Configuration> General Options

    Mystic will also now log which start menu is being loaded when a user logs
    in. "Setting start menu: prelogin" for example.

    It might be a good idea if upgrading to check your security profiles to make sure the start menu field is set to a blank or a value that you want for users with those settings.

    ... ASCII stupid question, get a stupid ANSI.
