 The problem is not that the user profile is not readable, but that the
 sheet that displays the profile is protected. This is a false
 protection, as the user profile is readable, it simply isn't displayed.
 What you can get in your XML respects the access rights. 

I thought that might be the case. This is the default setting on the XWiki
farm. Perhaps it is a bit misleading? Also, how do I change access rights on
all XWiki.XWikiUser objects to fix this?

Yes, that is the problem. And any action you want to perform requires that
the document is first loaded, which fails. The only way around this is a
direct database change (which I just did, now the class displays fine). I
created http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-3026 to remember this issue,
and it will need to be solved some time later.

Thanks! you saved me.

 Any cookie restrictions setup on the IE options?

 Subject: [xwiki-users] Can't log on in Internet Explorer

 I have XWiki 1.6.1.13621 installed on Tomcat 6.0.18.  I am having some
 problems logging in when using IE 7.  I'm putting in what I know is a
 valid username and password, but after submitting the login form I am
 brought back to the login screen.  I found a closed issue in Jira that
 may be the same problem I'm running into
 (http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-2211).  I have never had a
 problem with Firefox or Safari, only IE.  Something to add to the mix
 though is that I was able to login with IE from within the LAN where
 XWiki is installed using my work laptop.  If I try to login with IE on
 the same laptop, but across the Internet, the login fails.  Does anyone
 have any insight into this problem?

 In xwiki.cfg, have you specified the login name name (bind_dn) as
 domainusername (in xwiki.cfg it would be domain\{0})?
 Firefox can authentificate using only username, but IE needs to
 specify domain also.

 Fixed now.

 It was a wrong log in fact:

 if (LOG.isDebugEnabled()) {
  LOG.debug("LDAP authentication succeed with principal [" +
 principal.getName() + "]");
 }

 was executed even when the auth failed meaning that the principal was
 null in this case.

 Probably this NullPointer this is bug..

 Yes even if all is working well NullPointer should never append. Which
 version of XWiki Core/XE are you using ?
  xwiki version 1.7, and core i have from snapshot -11.12.2008
  Thanks for the report.

  Thx and greetings,

 That's what I thought. But have a look at:
 http://patternlanguagenetwork.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/YishayMor
 vs.

http://patternlanguagenetwork.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/api/genericXML?xpa…

 The problem is not that the user profile is not readable, but that the
 sheet that displays the profile is protected. This is a false
 protection, as the user profile is readable, it simply isn't displayed.
 What you can get in your XML respects the access rights.

   I've
never seen that :) Something is indeed deeply broken since the
 rendering is failing to display but I don't know why. 

 The problem started when I renamed a property to ".unused". I thought I
 could then add something like:
 #if (!"$propertyName.startsWith("."))
 to hide unused properties.
 I think what happened is this:
 The class definition is stored (or processed) in XML, and having a  property
  name starting with '.' confuses the
parser. 
 Yes, that is the problem. And any action you want to perform requires
 that the document is first loaded, which fails. The only way around this
 is a direct database change (which I just did, now the class displays
 fine). I created http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-3026 to
 remember this issue, and it will need to be solved some time later.

 This is most likely a cookie problem. Try cleaning cookies first, and
 see if you can login afterwards.

 I tried cleaning out my cookies and the problem persisted.  I also tried
 adding my site to my list of trusted sites which didn't work either.  I
 even
 took the security all the way to low for trusted sites with no change.
