What you posted isn't consistent with the error you got, so I don't know what to tell you. It suggests there are no flows configured and barring other warnings in the log I have no explanation for that, everything you posted couldn't really give that result.

What you posted can't be the *whole* file, of course, that bean had better be inside the list it's normally declared inside.

That's wrong to do.

That would suggest perhaps that the SP was asking for some specific context class that the Password flow didn't support. I think you'd get slightly different logging and status codes from that, but that's all that comes to mind. Something must be filtering out Password from the set of options it can try, and it's left with nothing.

Maybe you're not using the config you think you are.

No. Upgrades are safe and certainly don't break anything like this. Not unless you're using third party features that were implemented incorrectly to start with. A JAAS module wouldn't have any problem like that, it's the simplest case. Upgrading wouldn't touch any of the files involved here.
