Hi,
I'm working on setting up an XWiki-based site for a small community of users. All has
gone well for the most part, but I've got one issue that I'm hoping someone out
there can shed some light on.
I have about 60 users that are members of a group that has read/write access to the Wiki,
and logging in, editing, etc. works just fine for the majority of users, but for a small
subset (3 users I'm aware of) after login, they get redirected to the main page as
they should, but it appears the site is unaware of who they are. For instance, where it
normally would say "Hello Joe", it says "Hello
$docuser.display("first_name", "view", $objuser)". They also get
the message "You are not allowed to view this document or perform this action"
when viewing pages they should be able to access.
The problem doesn't seem to be related to the actual users themselves, because I had
one of the users login with someone elses computer, and it was successful. But for all 3
users, switching between IE and Firefox doesn't help, and I haven't been able to
find any browser settings that help either. I have also been unable to reconfigure my own
browser to reproduce the problem.
Does anyone have any ideas about what might be causing this? My best guess is that somehow
the browser is not presenting a session ID that matches the user's actual session
object, but I don't know why that might happen. I'm relatively new to both WXiki
and Tomcat, so I'm not sure what logging options might help me see some relevant
information.
I see many messages like this in my logs, but they occur even when users that do not
exhibit this problem hit the site, so I'm not sure they are related.
