I've the same problem of Rustedt Florian.
I've install xwiki 1.2.1 (and then 1.2.2) on Tomcat 5.5.26 with JDK 1.5.0_14 in a Red
Hat 4.u4 x86 Enterprise.
The authentication is basically working, if i try to log with a wrong user name or a wrong
password, I get an error message.
If I log in with superadmin user or another valid user, I get the xwiki homepage but the
user was't authenticated.
In the logs i get nothing more than:
!remember-me cookie validation hash mismatch!
!remember-me cookie has been tampered with!
!remember-me cookie is being deleted!
The same xwiki version was installed on a Windows XP (with the same jdk and tomcat
version) without any problem.
I try to configure the parameter xwiki.authentication.useip=false
but it doesn't work.
Please help me!
Thanks
