Question

Hello,

While upgrading a copy of our 01Feb2003 installation to 02Sep2004 I noticed that the mapping of our usernames (authenticated via htaccess from LDAP) to the wikinames broke down. For example my username in the ldap is wwodecki and my real name is WiktorWodecki. I found out, that after the upgrade (which went fine using the upgrade-script) the WIKIUSERNAME = USERNAME = REMOTE_USER

Since I didn't had to touch the TWikiUsers Page (it was all as before when it worked) I reread the whole documentation on the username mapping - without success.

Please note, that I had to edit each file in bin/ and remove the -T from the shell bang in order to avoid compile errors with our perl/apache2 combination. However, I had to do this in the old release, too.

A hint would be gratly appreciated,

Thank you,

Wiktor

PS: the 02Sep2004 Version is missing from the drop-down in the support form

Answer

I ran into the same problem, but I can not find the fix. (I have been searching for about 45 minutes and have given up). Could someone please attach a link to the fix or at least a description of the problem?

I tracked this down this morning. For me at least it was caused by doMapUserToWikiName being set to "0" in the TWiki.cfg file.

Thanks for the update Allen. I note that LoginUserNameMappingBroken is probably also relevant.
