Greetings all, I'm new to XWiki both as an administrator and as a dev, so please forgive me if I'm a bit mistaken on behavior.
I'm running XWiki with authentication through LDAP. I manually added my own username and granted admin privileges to that user. I then switched it to LDAP and set it so other users must login to view anything beyond the main page. Authentication works fine; users are able to login. My problem is that every time they login, a new entry is being added to the XWiki.XWikiGroups object. This can be seen by viewing the 5 pages of a single username in the XWikiAll group. I've checked jira and the list archives for this issue, and I thought I remembered seeing some mention of an issue like this, but on review I can't find anything. I have no doubt that either my LDAP configuration is wrong, or my LDAP server is insane. My XWiki user entry shows up as my LDAP login name, everyone else's shows up as their full name. But that's not my chief concern; I'll figure that out eventually. My thinking is that regardless of configuration, multiple entries of the same name should not be addable to the XWikiGroups object. This should either be inforced by treating it as a set or a map, or by searching the vector prior to added objects. I'm looking in the com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki.addUserToGroup() function (XWiki.java:2940) and I don't see evidence of such a check. I confess I haven't taken the time to look to see if the function is overridden, or how the overridden functions behave, nor have I run XWiki through the debugger yet, but am I right in thinking it should be checked as described here? If I can get some bit of confirmation from someone more familiar with the code, I'll gladly make a patch. Paul D.
