Hi Joshua,
I remember running into a similar issue in earlier versions. It might be
a bug related to checking whether special groups should be added
depending on the authentication method being used.
During the SWORD request, the |request| object comes through as null,
which causes one of these checks to fail. Looking at the recent changes,
it’s possible the issue is triggered in the |isUsed| function of the
ORCID and Shibboleth methods you have configured, which are involved in
this recent change:
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/11633<https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/11633>
Modifying the function so that it returns false when |request| is null
could fix the problem.
If you can see the stack trace, it should give you a better idea of
exactly where it’s happening.
Regards,
Toni

Hello,
We have installed DSpace 9.2 (upgraded from 7.6). It has SWORD v1. We
use Shibboleth and Orcid for authentication. They are working. But if
I try to log in to the SWORD service document page, even though I set
a user account to the admin and submitter groups for collections under
assign roles and enter the correct email and password, the login fails.

In the DSpace log file, it prints as follows:
