SID-01085: Wiki password problem

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	5.0.1	Perl version:	5.10
Category:	CategoryAuthentication	Server OS:	Debian Lenny	Last update:	15 years ago

I have tested twiki 4.2 to 5.0.1 and they have the ability to allow someone to pad their password with extra data. For example, if my password is bigbozo then I can enter bigbozooooooooooo and it will work. Is this by design or is it a bug?

Thanks for any answer,

Discussion and Answer

I just checked here on twiki.org, I can't reproduce this. What kind of LoginManager and PasswordManager do you use?

I am using TWiki::LogingManager::TemplateLogin and TWiki::Users::HtPasswdUser.

Thanks for quick answer,
