Lenny, I dont have an answer for you .. However, I have witnessed similar behavior with my test xwiki install. (version 3.0) I'm using, again, a custom XWikiAuthServiceImpl and have done similar steps to reproduce almost identical outcome. I too would like to know how to _fully_ remove the problem user from the database. Either by a) removal within XWiki, b) SQL calls to the database. Note: as mentioned above this is on my test install of xwiki so I have not dedicated too much time to further exploring the issue. ------ thanks kevin.foote On Wed, 1 Jun 2011, Scardino, Leonard R Jr ERDC-ITL-MS Contractor wrote: -> Bumping this because I still haven't found an answer on my own.
