Customer is using security.xml export/import APIs as following. And after the exported security.xml is imported into the target, it is noticed that the original passwords for admin and access-admin users become invalid.
Other observation: LDAP credentials are working fine. And the password for another local user(with admin priv) in the target did not become invalid in the same import.
curl -uadmin:<password> -X GET http://localhost:8081/artifactory/api/system/security -o source_security.xml
curl -X POST -uadmin:<password> "http://localhost:8081/artifactory/api/system/security" -T source_security.xml
This issue exists with and without 'overwrite=true' flag in the above import api(POST)
This issue behavior did not exist in 6.5.x
