Unable to create new user in default user source in docker'd 8.3 image (trial, standard)

Hello,

I’ve configured a new container in Docker Desktop to evaluate Ignition v8.3.2 setup as the standard gateway but I’m not able to add a second user to the “default” user source. I don’t see this issue when using Ignition 8.3.2 when it’s installed on a Windows Server (UI path: Platform>Security>User Sources>default). Any thoughts on what might be tripping me up? - I am new to docker.. here’s the docker yml file I’m using:

name: ignition-test-8.3.2
services:
    ignition-service:
        image: inductiveautomation/ignition:8.3.2
        container_name: ignition-test
        ports:
          - "8088:8088" # Exposes the web server (HTTP) port
          - "8043:8043" # Exposes the web server (HTTPS) port
        volumes:
          - ignition-gw-data:/usr/local/bin/ignition/data # Persists gateway data
        environment:
          - ACCEPT_IGNITION_EULA=Y # Required to run the container
          - IGNITION_EDITION=standard # Optional: specifies Ignition edition
        networks:
          - my-ignition-network

    db-service:
        image: postgres:17.5
        container_name: postgres-test
        ports:
          - "5432:5432" # Expose the db port
        command: postgres -c 'max_connections=200' -c 'shared_buffers=256MB' #Command options
        volumes:
          - postgres-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data #persist postgres data
        environment:
          - POSTGRES_DB=historian
          - POSTGRES_USER=admin
          - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=admin
        networks:
          - my-ignition-network
            
volumes:
  ignition-gw-data:
    driver: local
  postgres-data:
    driver: local

networks:
  my-ignition-network:
    driver: bridge

What exactly happens when you try? An error in the web UI? Any errors in the gateway logs?

Hi Paul,

When I go to manage users and click “Create User” - the UI pops up with the Admin user details filled into the form. I tried deleting my cookies & browser cache but same issue.

Do you use any sort of credential management system? That looks suspiciously like some third-party extension is trying to auto-fill stored credentials into the form based on inputs named username and password.

What happens if you replace the information as it has been presented?

Oh my goodness! Thank you!! .. smh. The username & password fields were “greyed” but were editable. Thank you
