Unable to create deployment to a specific device group on Mender 2.5

General Discussions

I’ve got Mender 2.5 running in an on-premises setup and have been able to successfully create deployments to upgrade my devices previously.

However, now that I’ve started putting devices into groups, I’m not able to create a deployment that targets a single group. I am getting a 500 Internal Server Error in the browser when it tries to create the deployment by posting to https://MY_DOMAIN/api/management/v1/deployments/deployments/group/MY_GROUP_NAME.

The server side logs are complaining “tenant ID not present in the context”:

I thought tenant IDs were only required for hosted Mender, not on-premises.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Think you are seeing the same thing as was discussed here, Unable to create deployment for static groups

@mirzak: Yes after upgrading deployments and inventory as shown at that link, I was able to create a deployment (browser receives a 201 Created response code), and the deployment succeeded. Thanks!
