Bug ID: 60407
Summary: API edit token in betalabs is always an anonymous edit
token
Product: Wikimedia Labs
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: deployment-prep (beta)

In developing some test setup/teardown methods via the Mediawiki API, we have
noticed that en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org (beta labs) always returns an
anonymous edit token, even following a successful login. This does not happen
in other environments - in other environments, the edit API action is
authenticated as expected.
Repro workflow:
1) Request login token: curl -c cookies.txt -X POST
'http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/api.php?action=login&format=json&lgname=<username>&lgpassword=<password>&lgtoken='
2) Submit login token: curl -b cookies.txt -X POST
'http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/api.php?action=login&format=json&lgname=<username>&lgpassword=<password>&lgtoken=<token
obtained in previous step>'
3) Request edit token, reusing the same cookie obtained above: curl -b
cookies.txt -X POST
"http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/api.php?action=tokens&type=edit&format=json";
Response to step #3 is an anonymous edit token: {"tokens":{"edittoken":"+\\"}}
In other environments, such as test2.wikipedia.org, the response in step #3 is
something like the following, which is the expected behavior (a valid edit
token is returned):
{"tokens":{"edittoken":"5d75e6ca92d6de881921f068ebd7b695+\\"}}
