Ok, so I have a custom XWikiAuthServiceImpl login that after authenticating
via a smart card looks up a user from a database and creates a xwiki user.
To verify it was working after some changes, I deleted a user that previously
could log in fine, and then had them try to log in again. They got a screen
with no skin applied and an error "You are not allowed to view this document
or perform this action". I did the same for a different user, and they had
no trouble at all, with their user being created again just fine.
I looked in the admin console, and the user with the problem is not listed.
So I tried creating the user with the problem by hand in the Admin console,
but it claims the user already exists.
Also, I have an output line in my extended XWikiAuthServiceImpl code that
tells me that it made it to that point. Right after it is an exception:
"org.xwiki.velocity.XWikiVelocityException: Failed to evaluate content with
id [/templates/xwikivars.vm]" I can't be sure it's related, but seems to
be.
Is there perhaps lingering user info in the database for this user? If so,
how do I get rid of it? Or is it something else entirely?
Thanks for any help.

Bumping this because I still haven't found an answer on my own. Anyone have
any ideas that could help?

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

Well, it's good to know I'm not the only one. Hopefully someone has an idea
and can be helpful.

Hi, I can say for certain that the only thing which makes the user a part of the wiki is
the document XWiki.$username and it's contained object.
If that document is gone then there is no user. Of course that is dependent on using the
default authenticator.
If you are using a custom authenticator which still lets the user authenticate then XWiki
has no way of knowing that they don't exist, your
authenticator says they do.
What I can say is there is no users table in the database.
I hope this helps.

I can reproduce the "You are not allowed to view this document or
perform this action" message only if I delete the user while he is
logged in. If I then logout (using the URL) and re-register then
everything is fine.
Another thing to check is the groups the user is in. Maybe you need to
clean the groups.
Hope this helps,
Marius

Wow, such a simple solution. That was it exactly. Now I have no idea why
when I deleted the user it didn't delete the page, but it didn't.
Thank you very much. I'm a HUGE fan of simple solutions.
