Weird login issue

For authentication, we use LDAP with the regular Bricolage login as a
fallback. Last week, one of users could not log in using her network
password, while everyone else could. So I changed her password in
Bricolage to something temporary, she successfully logged in and changed
it.

Today, I had to login as her to delete a story she had in her workspace.
When I logged out and tried to log back in as me, I couldn't! I deleted
my Bricolage cookies, restarted Bricolage with no change.

So I logged in as the admin, changed my password to what is was, and was
finally able to log back in as me.

Anyone have a clue of what might have happened?

Bricolage is no longer able to connect to ldap and always falling back?
People who have the same passwords still work, people who have the
passwords out of sync no longer work?

Cheers,

Alex

Hi Alex. No, Bricolage can connect to LDAP. Just about everyone's
Bricolage password is different from their network password. If
Bricolage couldn't connect to LDAP, I would have heard from a lot more
people.

My local host instance has no issues with this, so I think it's something with how the name is getting resolved, and maybe how the servername is getting set up.

For example, on my "localhost" development instance, I can run with:

NAME_VHOST = *
VHOST_SERVER_NAME = _default_

But on the other install, it will not start with that, and I need to put in the IP address or domain name.

My apologies for the slow response. What's the log-in issue that you're experiencing, Matt?

Aargh, I'm not getting all the messages from the mailing list for some reason - or sometime I get them days late. So I only saw this when I checked Gossamer Threads. My apologies.

Anyway, I have not been able to get browsers other than Firefox to be able to log into bricolage. See below:

When I log in with Firefox it is all is good. When I try to log in with Safari, Chrome or Opera, I just get the login screen presented to me again. It seems that when the browser pulls the "?BRICOLAGE_AUTH" string, for Firefox the server returns 200 status and the other browsers are getting a 302 status back.

I have no idea what is causing this.

I don't _think_ I've seen that before. I experienced a problem with not being able to get _to_ the log-in screen, but -- once there -- I don't think I've seen problems with the actual log-in screen.

[Adam Wilson] Have you tried looking at the log files for the web server to see if the URI is different based on the browser?
