It prefills in my login name as the aliased user instead of the new username and my magic cookie doesn't work anymore. I guess its changing the username when I try to login and it doesn't match. I'll see if I can track this down, I am not sure where it gets the cookie and how aliasing works yet.

Once your 'new' machine has been aliased to the old account, you restart Browse and you're in your old account. I guess its changing the username when I try to login and it doesn't match. Nothing to do with usernames :-) it's down to the serial number of the machine. I'll see if I can track this down, I am not sure where it gets the cookie and how aliasing works yet. The aliasing is fairly high level. In the 'login to moodle' process, moodle checks whether your SN is aliased to any other account. If so, it logs you into that _other_ acct instead. cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel

Yes, for some reason it was asking for the password. I had the soas nickname not matching on the old/new registrations. I rergistered with the same nickname and then followed the procedure exactly and I was logged in automatically.

[Server-devel] Aliasing and backup
Ok, I am asked here after I read the XS Blueprint for account aliasing, I am not sure I am thinking about this the right way. I registered SoaS and generated a backup and its available from Moodle just fine. I later register another SoaS and go to the the old registration, click the alias tab, choose the new registration and click the Alias this account button. I login to the XS from the new registration and an logged in automatically. I go to my backup tab and it says this user has no backup data yet. As an experiment I also tried aliasing in the opposite direction, going to the new user, clicking that alias tab and choosing the old user to the same effect. Should the backups from the original account show up on the new aliased account?
