[xwiki-dev] NPE in LDAP Authentication

[Ludovic Dubost]

Hi,

The null pointer is here

  public Principal authenticate(String ldapusername, String password, 
XWikiContext context) throws XWikiException {
        Principal principal = null;

        // Trim the username to allow users to enter their names with 
spaces before or after
        String username  = ldapusername.replaceAll(" ", "");


This is indeed new code in M4.. I'm adding a bug in JIRA. It will be 
fixed in RC1
Indeed this should not do a null pointer. Do you get this after typing 
your credentials or when clicking on login ?
