Hello everyone,

when ever I call a cron php-file - for example "EmailProcessor.php" - it returns "Sorry, can not load CMS user account."
http://mydomain.de/sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/EmailProcessor.php?name=username&pass=fuishc3122&key=s1t3k3ydummy

The user name is simple and the password as well. I created a dedicated user with the appropriate permissions and of course I tested the same with a full admin user. Still the error message persists.

It seems that civicrm is not able to authenticate the cms user and in a bare correlation it seems to be somewhat similar to the following post:
http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,21720.msg92382.html#msg92382

leading to the following code:
        if ( $name ) {
            $user = user_authenticate(  array( 'name' => $name, 'pass' => $pass ) );
            if ( empty( $user->uid ) ) {
                echo '<br />Sorry, unrecognized username or password.';
                exit( );
            }

Does anyone have a clue? Can it be, that the drupal function for authentication is corrupted - how would I fix/reset that?

Thank you for your help.

I figured it out. A module was messing with my authentication. I turned it off and rebuild the permission table - NOW - finally it works fine and first processed 900 bounced mails xD

Thank you!

As an aside the original forum post calls the cron the old way - it should be bin/cron.php
