Hi, running pydio 8.0.1. First auth method is serial, as second I added auth.remote. Unfortunately, I deactived the auth.remote plugin afterwards in the backend. Now I only get this error: You have selected a disabled plugin (remote) for type ‘auth’. I already edited: PYDIO/plugins/auth.remote/manifest.xml \>\> line 2 \>\> enabled=”true”, set to true, was false. Cleared \*.ser in /var/lib/pydio/data/cache In the database table “ajxp\_plugin\_configs” was no occurance of auth.remote, so I tried to add: auth.remote | a:1:{s:19:“AJXP\_PLUGIN\_ENABLED”;b:1;} as mentioned in this post: [https://pydio.com/forum/f/topic/upgrade-6-0-8-6-2-1-auth-remote-broken/](https://pydio.com/forum/f/topic/upgrade-6-0-8-6-2-1-auth-remote-broken/) But it had no effect either. Please does somebody have an idea?? It a working system for a client 😕 Thanks! Best regards, Jan ---

Hi Jan, You can use these commands : 1 - Restore backup configuration from /var/lib/pydio/data/plugins/boot.conf/bootstrap.json.bak to /var/lib/pydio/data/plugins/boot.conf/bootstrap.json And the parameters AJXP\_PLUGIN\_ENABLED is true: “auth.smb”:{ “AJXP\_PLUGIN\_ENABLED”:true }, 2 - Pydio: clear plugins cache rm -rf /var/lib/pydio/data/cache/plugins\_\* rm -rf /var/lib/pydio/data/cache/i18/\*.ser I hope it’s ok with that ;). ---

Yes, the bootstrap.json still had the false-attribute. Changing that to true solved the problem. Not quite easy to find 😉 Thanks! ---
