Hello!

I am running in circles since switching to 2.1.1 standalone from an old 1.7 Drupal installation. To make it clear, I did not migrate any information or DB's as the 1.7 was kind of an eval sandbox for us, and now that we decided to move forward with it I wanted a more solid installation with less overhead, as we really have no need for another CMS, already running MOSS...

The issue that I am having is that it seems I can always only have one user able to log onto the system. I know this sounds odd, and I am not talking about concurrent logons, but the number of users able to log on. After install I signed up for a new myOpenID and civiCRM displayed the nice screen to get the basic user information before allowing one into the system. All was well, this first user was in the Administrator group - perfect.

Now I try to add a user through the same process as before, and as soon as I enter the newly created (and confirmed!) myOpenID into the civiCRM logon screen and submit it, I get an error that says: "You are not allowed to login. Login failed. Contact your Administrator. Home Page"

Strangely enough, if I get rid of that one user, including the entries in the openid and UF tables, I can now register one more user, no matter who that might be, but no more users after that. I already tried emptying the pertaining tables and importing the sql from the tarball as indicated in another thread ( http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,4820.msg21079.html#msg21079 ), but it did not make the least difference.

Anyone got any ideas???


Thanks already in advance,
Marcus.

Not sure if I was able to explain exactly what is going on with my initial post, but that error actually comes up before a user is generated from the openID login. It appears right after you enter a new openID, log in on the myopenID site and click the button to sign into the civiCRM site. It is the same if I create the user beforehand, add that user to the Administrators group, enter the openID and check the "Allowed to login" checkbox.

Now I did try to add the line to the settings file, but when I do that and then try to log in with another openID I get this error message:

Sorry. A non-recoverable error has occurred.
You do not have permission to access this page

Return to home page.

I can go back, reload, enter the address again, but will not get back to the login screen now until I remove the new entry from the settings file again - then everything behaves again as above

You are the man!

Thank you so much for your help - now it all makes sense, once you figure out how the whole openID registration process works, and that the default group is authenticated users ; -)

Just added the "access civicrm" permission and I was able to log in. However, the system creates an empty user object with the new openID, and I have not yet found a way to search for these, other then just grabbing the top records of the list and then filling out the details for the particular user and adding them to their groups for ACL and such.

So, once again, thank you for your help!
Have a great night,
Marcus.
