SID-00405: Username wrong stored in RCS-File

Status:	Unanswered	TWiki version:	4.3.1	Perl version:	5.8,5.10
Category:	CategoryAPI	Server OS:	Debian 5.0, OpenSuSE 10.3, Debian 4.0	Last update:	16 years ago

We have activate apache and kerberos so we can authenticate over AD. The loginname in the REMOTE_USER variable is user[at sign]SUB.EXAMPLE.NET.

When a user save a topic then the username is in the rcs File user_40SUB_2eEXAMPLE_2eNET. That is my problem.

I have checked with perl 5.8 and 5.10.

I have looked into the code at the beginning the $session->{user} is correct. But when the system stored RcsWrap.pm and Store.pm the username is wrong. The funktions getWikiname and getLoginname worked correct.

The rcs Version is 5.7.

Workarounds are welcome

Discussion and Answer

I noticed that problem (and another) appear in release 4.2.2. A fix for the seemingly unrelated problem also fixed the usernames: it's the patch provided by RobertGerlach, 19 Jan 2009, in TWikibug:Item5920

As you can see by Sopan's remarks after that, the fix didn't make into the trunk, so the problem could have reappeared in 4.3.1 (I don't know, I'm still on the patched 4.2.2).

Thx

No that is not the problem the patch are included up to Release 4.3.0. Also I have looked in the code the lines are included from TWikibug:Item5920

Any other suggestions ?
