#5285 closed defect (fixed)

PHPBB username should be treated case-insensitively

Reported by: Maxence Bernard Owned by: John Hampton
Priority: normal Component: PhpBbAuthPlugin
Severity: normal Keywords:
Cc: nicolas@… Trac Release: 0.11

Description

PhpBBAuthPlugin seems to be case-sensitive when treating usernames, where PHPBB is not. As a result, a user that is used to logging on PHPBB with a case-variation of his username won't be able to log on Trac.

Here are the steps to reproduce the bug:

  • Create a PHPBB user with the username 'Nicolas' (mind the case)
  • Log on PHPBB by entering 'nicolas' in the username field => OK
  • Log on Trac/PhpBBAuthPlugin by entering 'nicolas' in the username field => FAIL

PS: Thanks for this great plugin! We will be using it shortly on mucommander.com .

I have attached a patch that treats usernames case-insentively, allowing users to login with case variations of their username. It uses the 'username_clean' column of the 'phpbb_users' table, which contains the lower-cased username.

If the patch is OK with you, can you please add it to SVN ?

Thanks, Maxence
