Item9226: internal server error when changing password of unkown user

• enable AllowLoginName in configure
• go to ChangePassword
• LoginName = foo (use some unknown login name)
• passwords = bar
• hit submit

you get

Foswiki detected an internal error - please check your Foswiki logs and webserver logs for more information.

cannot change user passwords using Foswiki::BaseUserMapping

should be an oops unknown user foo.

Can somebody repro?

I tried to reproduce this on a vanilla trunk checkout. Followed the instructions above to the letter. I get a nice "Incorrect password" screen, which is correct because it doesn't give away the fact that there's no user called "foo".

I'm afraid it's down to you to zero in on this, unless someone else can reproduce it....

I get "Incorrect password" when AllowLoginName is disabled

I get an internal error when enabling it.

Can anybody else please check?

I can confirm - With ASSERTs enabled, it fails because the cUID is undefined.

Assertion failed!

Added a check to Password.pm - seems to be fixed.

-- GeorgeClark - 05 Jul 2010

Just a check.

Was this issue in 1.0.9? Is so please change status to Waiting For Release. If is was introduced in trunk after 1.0.9 was branched off then leave it closed.

Remember to set the target release field.

-- KennethLavrsen - 05 Jul 2010

.. was only on trunk.
