Valid User IDs

Robin Bobbitt (596●7●9) | asked Sep 08 '09, 11:33 a.m.
What characters are valid in a User ID? I've configured my jazz server for LDAP and created a user with uid "joe bob". When I try to log in, it fails with "Invalid user ID /password", CRJAZ0097I The request for URL "/jazz/service/com.ibm.team.repository.common.internal.IRepositoryRemoteService" was denied with a Forbidden status. Is this because of the space in the id? My users without spaces can log in successfully.

Thanks,
Robin

Authentication is managed by the container (Tomcat / WebSphere). I am not aware of any issues with spaces in the user id.

Can you double check the user information "joe bob" in LDAP directory ?

Thanks Balaji. You were correct. I had forgotten to give my user one of the Jazz roles. It would be helpful if the error message could be enhanced to provide this information (that the authentication was successful but no role has been assigned). Thanks for the help!

Robin,

When you run into these kinds of issues, your best option is to ask users to browse to https://{server-Name}:9443/jazz/authenticated/identity

This url displays the group membership information. The information is used by the container to determine your permissions.
