Hi Jonathan,
thank you very much for your investigation. It's working perfect:-)!

Ha! Happy days are here again...
The solution is to log in to the secondary xwiki server as the
administrator from the PRIMARY wiki, then open the RegisterNewUser
document and save it.
You do this by typing 'xwiki:XWiki.Admin' in the username field.
The reason being that the magic 'programming rights' can only be
applied to users of the primary wiki. So even logging n as
'superadmin' to the secondary DB does not do the trick.
Maybe this should have been obvious. But it took me a whole day of
walking through the source code to work it out. (can't resist a small
snipe at the xwiki developers here: It's a great program, guys, but
you are allowed to write comments that are longer than one line, you
know...)
Thanks to all,
Jon

----------------------------------------------------
It's either a bug or something
counterintuitive with the rights
setup for virtual wikis.
As far as I can see, on the secondary wiki the createUser API call
generates a request for the register right on XWiki.XWikiPreferences
on behalf of user XWiki.XWikiGuest, which gets denied.
On the main wiki, I see a request for the programming right on
XWiki.RegisterNewUser on behalf of XWiki.Admin (even though I really
don't think I'm logged in as XWiki.Admin) which is granted at
'master admin level'. Don't see how this could happen, but it's
there in the log. Possibly an error on my part, as swiching debug on
for XWikiRightServiceImpl really creates a __storm__ of log
entries.
Ah well, will keep looking at it. But thought I'd report what I've
found so far in case someone else want to take a look.

http://www.objectweb.org/wws Frank,
Are you sure you have the same problem? By this I mean:
1. Are you also not on the wiki farm?
Yes, I am not on the farm. I'm running xwiki on two different
machines
and on one machine there are two virtual wikis. And on the second
wiki
I have exact the same problem.
2. Have you also already tried saving
RegisterNewUser with a
user with
programming rights? (if you're on the farm you'll have to ask an
admin
to do it for you).
Yes, I did it, with no effect.
I will check anything in the next days and will give here in the
list
a message about the result.
Bye
Frank
