Weird authentication issue - username + password not working with RBT

['Eric Johnson' via Review Board Community]

I'm not even sure where / how to troubleshoot this issue.

I've got clients of the server that I'm managing that have no problem
accessing the ReviewBoard website with a standard username and password
login.

(Note, as it may be relevant to understanding / diagnosing the issue:

   - I server multiple instances of ReviewBoard from the same server - each
   gets a separate database - but they are all sharing the same memcached
   instance.
   - I've got a custom authentication handler, as I need to be able to
   authenticate against two possible LDAP servers.

)

Weirdly, for some users, for some ReviewBoard instances (but not all of
them), the "rbt" tool now no longer works with username + password for
authentication.

So far, users have been able to get back to work using API tokens for
authentication instead. The question remains, though:

Why is it that only some users can no longer use "rbt" with username +
password authentication, but the same username + password works when
logging into the website directly?

Any suggestions for how to troubleshoot this / reproduce the problem?

Eric.

RB 3.0.15: warnings from rb-site update_index

[john h]

Hi all,

I recently upgraded a ReviewBoard install from Ubuntu 14.04/RB 1.6.9 to 
18.04/3.0.15.  I did it by advancing through each final minor release of RB 
with pip (starting with 1.7.xx, since that was the earliest available via 
pip), and running rb-site upgrade and recommended commands/edits.  RB was 
messily/incompletely installed, and I had to remove/reinstall 
/usr/local/python2.7/dist-packages to clean up the dependency mess in 
there.  More details if needed-- it was fairly messy, and I'm a little 
unsure the site is 100% clean at this point, but it appears to be Mostly 
Working.

Search functionality had never been enabled or installed in crontab.  I did 
that (using Whoosh, our site seems fairly small at 6000 review requests 
over a decade), but now I'm getting the following error from sudo -u 
www-data "/usr/bin/python" "/usr/local/bin/rb-site" manage 
"/var/www/mercury-reviewboard.pct.niksun.com" update_index -- -a 1:

WARNING:py.warnings:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/haystack/indexes.py:167:
 
UserWarning: No updated date field found for 'User' - not restricting by 
age.
  warnings.warn(update_field_msg)

Indexing 82 users
Indexing 0 Review Requests

My first try at indexing had this all running as root, so I removed the 
data/search-index directory, reran everything as the www-data user RB is 
running as, and the error persists.  How might I clear this error?  TOO 
MUCH MAIL FROM ROOT :)

Glad to hear it! We’ll have that rolled up into the next release.

ok, this fix didn't break anything and I was able to submit a review on the 
feature branch which previously caused the codec error.

thanks
