If there's no navigation.xml created for a LDAP user, NullPointerException is thrown from UIUserToolBarDashboardPortlet.gtmpl:

    ERROR [org.exoplatform.webui.application.portlet.PortletApplicationController] (ajp-0.0.0.0-10209-1) Error while rendering the porlet
org.exoplatform.groovyscript.TemplateRuntimeException: Groovy template exception at DataText[pos=Position[col=1,line=94],data= if(currentUserNavigation.getNodes() ==null || currentUserNavigation.getNodes().size() < 1){ ] for template app:/groovy/admintoolbar/webui/component/UIUserToolBarDashboardPortlet.gtmpl

This could be fixed changing the following code in UIUserToolBarDashboardPortlet.gtmpl:

   if(currentUserNavigation.getNodes() ==null || currentUserNavigation.getNodes().size() < 1){

to
   
   if(currentUserNavigation==null || currentUserNavigation.getNodes() ==null || currentUserNavigation.getNodes().size() < 1){
