The first thing I would check for is if you have the right jars deployed to your shared libs. I suspect you may have multiple versions of the same lib deployed.

Hi jasper

Thank you for your answer,

I only change

```auto
 <parent>
    <groupId>com.onehippo.cms7</groupId>
    <artifactId>hippo-cms7-enterprise-release</artifactId>
    <version>14.7.13</version>
  </parent>

```

in my general pom.

After this, mvn clean install and deploy in our server. I looked for another version and i didn´t find anything. All jars in my Maven dependencies are 14.7.13

</div>

Finally redeploy the project and works. No idea what happened. We are deploying in a Docker, so is very strange that another version persits.

Anyway thank you for your answer. @jasper.floor

There is another other that persists in the start up

```auto

```

This is the log output, but the application seems to work properly

I have read that this error is produced for a vulnerability issue with AJP, but really I don´t know if the AJP is necessary of I can deactivate it in site application

Any idea that what could do?

Hi,  
The “configured with secretRequired=“true”” error seems to unrelated to the application but to how you’ve configured Tomcat in server.xml.  
If secretRequired=“true”, you must have a “secret” as well, see [Apache Tomcat 9 Configuration Reference (9.0.73) - The AJP Connector](https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/config/ajp.html)

HI,

sometimes errors disappear for no reason. I do believe the error you saw is related to multiple jars, but that shouldn’t happen in a docker container that you rebuild as necessary. I guess this was a Heisenbug. Jeroen has answered your other question, I have nothing to add to that.
