Symptoms

When checking the user roles and access rights via the user manager, and saving the result, then editing and saving it again, the following null pointer is thrown:

java.lang.NullPointerException

When the user then tries to log in as this user, he receives an error:

A connection to the server could not be established: null (user=<user ID>)

Please note that this only happens with existing, i.e. migrated users. For new users it is possible to assign user roles and access rights without any problems.
