----------------------------------
Summary: Creating a user with a mixed-case username behaves
strangely
Key: AMBARI-14672
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-14672
Project: Ambari
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Greg Hill
If you create a user with some capital letters in the username, Ambari accepts
the request and creates a user with the lowercase version of that username.
However, if you then do a GET on the original username, Ambari gives a 200
response but an empty response body:
{noformat}
GET /api/v1/users/MixedCase
<empty response>
GET /api/v1/users/mixedcase
{
"href" :
"https://ambari-8d6c17ae32685572aa82f82b813138a1.cbdptest.com/api/v1/users/mixedcase";,
"Users" : {
"active" : true,
"admin" : false,
"groups" : [ ],
"ldap_user" : false,
"user_name" : "mixedcase"
},
"widget_layouts" : [ ],
"privileges" : [ ]
}
{noformat}
Ambari should throw a 404 error at a minimum, but better yet, just lowercase
the username requested and return the right user. Since we silently lowercase
it on POST, we should do the same on GET, IMO.
