SID-00342: Incorrect user META info when saving pages

Status: Unanswered Unanswered TWiki version: 4.3.1 Perl version: 5.8.6
Category: CategoryAuthentication Server OS: FreeBSD 5.5 Last update: 14 years ago

I am upgrading from TWiki 4.1.2 to 4.3.1 and got most everything working except one problem that I cannot find a solution for. We are using Apache authentication with Kerberos. The REMOTE_USER variable contains something like USER@DOMAINPLEASENOSPAM.COM. On the TWikiUserAuthentication page, I am correctly identified with my TWiki userid. However, when I save a page, the META info contains author="USER_40DOMAIN_2eCOM" instead of the TWiki username as it was the case in 4.1.2. I also tried 4.2.4 with the same result. How can I fix this problem?

I have the same problem like this question. Has anyone an idea or a fix for this ugly meta tag?

This might work, is not tested: The twiki/lib/LocalSite.cfg is a config file that TWiki executes at the beginning as Perl. Try adding this at the top:

$ENV{REMOTE_USER} =~ s/\@.*//;

Hi Peter, thx for your quick answer. After this little changes I could make one edit and it seem to be OK, but after I get new authentificat I was a unknown user like "Hello TWikiuest? ". Something else what I can do?
