SID-00963: TwikiUserMapping does not work

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	5.0.0	Perl version:	Perl 5.10.0
Category:	CategoryAuthentication	Server OS:	Debian Lenny 5.0.5	Last update:	15 years ago

I have changed my Wiki installation from Version 4.1.2 to 5.0.0.

I work with NTLM for single sign on.

With 4.1.2 it works fine. With 5.0.0 the TwikiUserMapping works not correctly.

Sample for User MichaelEngel

Userdefinition in TWikiUsers: * MichaelEngel - men - 23 Jul 2007

Display of vaiable USERINFO: unknown, Main.men, and WIKIUSERNAME: Main.men

The ADMIN Logon works fine!

anyone can help me

Thanks

Hi Michael,

take a look at your TWiki configuration. You should enable AllowLoginName: Security Setup > Registration > {Register}{AllowLoginName}

Hi Daniel, here an extract from my TWiki configuration:

$TWiki::cfg{LoginManager} = 'TWiki::LoginManager::ApacheLogin';
$TWiki::cfg{LoginNameFilterIn} = '^[^\\s\\*?~^\\$@%`"\'&;|<>\\x00-\\x1f]+$';
$TWiki::cfg{DefaultUserLogin} = '';
$TWiki::cfg{DefaultUserWikiName} = 'TWikiGuest';
$TWiki::cfg{AdminUserWikiName} = 'TWikiAdminGroup';
$TWiki::cfg{SuperAdminGroup} = 'TWikiAdminGroup';
$TWiki::cfg{UsersTopicName} = 'TWikiUsers';
$TWiki::cfg{MapUserToWikiName} = 1;
$TWiki::cfg{AuthScripts} = 'attach,edit,manage,rename,save,upload,viewauth,rdiffauth,view';
$TWiki::cfg{AuthRealm} = 'Enter your LoginName. (Typically First name and last name, no space, no dots, capitalized, e.g. JohnSmith, unless you chose otherwise). Visit TWikiRegistration if you do not have one.';
$TWiki::cfg{PasswordManager} = 'none';
$TWiki::cfg{MinPasswordLength} = 1;
$TWiki::cfg{Htpasswd}{FileName} = '/home/httpd/twiki/data/.htpasswd';
$TWiki::cfg{Htpasswd}{Encoding} = 'crypt';
$TWiki::cfg{UserMappingManager} = 'TWiki::Users::TWikiUserMapping';
$TWiki::cfg{Register}{HidePasswd} = 1;
$TWiki::cfg{Register}{AllowLoginName} = 1;
$TWiki::cfg{Register}{NeedVerification} = 1;
$TWiki::cfg{SafeEnvPath} = '/bin:/usr/bin';

Hi Michael,

please remove $TWiki::cfg{MapUserToWikiName} = 1; (deprecated) and set

$TWiki::cfg{DefaultUserLogin} = 'guest';
