Unable to edit wiki pages

[vasile]

Hi there. I know I'm not the only one to complain about wiki editing after merging the accounts. I'm getting the following error when I try to edit an existing wiki page

"You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason:

The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups: Users, emailconfirmed."

Thanks, Vasile

[robe]

Vasile,

Please try now. I'll send a not to discuss to have others with the same issue just add to this ticket.

Thanks, Regina

[vasile]

Hi Regina!

It is working. Thank you!

Hi, I also have issues logging in into the WIKI. It says:

"There are problems with some of your input." "Invalid password, please try again"

Any ideas? Thanks!

My login name is "Till Adams"

[cvvergara]

Hi Till, I think the problem with you is the space on your login. Will confirm with Regina.

[robe]

Till -- yah yours is a special case as there is a:

109 Wiki-Till Adams
5490 Wiki-Till adams 

I need to merge those first but not sure which to keep - which one you are being forced into

[robe]

Till,

Can you give it another try. I merged the Wiki-Till adams -> Wiki-Till Adams and kept the Wiki-Till Adams

As it seemed most of the information was tied to the older account. If you still have issues logging into Till Adams, let me know. I might need to reset the password or something else.

I also have an issue editing pages after merging the accounts. User:Olivermay

Cheers,

[cvvergara]

@olivermay Please try again. and report your success or failure

[Olivermay]

It works now, thanks a lot!

[micheletobias]

I went through the process of merging my wiki and LDAP accounts but when I log in to the wiki, I have no option to edit a page. My user name is micheletobias

[wildintellect]

Apparently I don't have a working account either, was pretty sure I checked after migration, and I'm not in any of the stuck in migration groups...

[robe]

Can you both try. I fixed both wildintellect and micheletobias. Though I didn't see any extra permissions on your account Michele. That could be right though.

[robe]

Michele looks like you had two incomplete accounts. I merged them and made you a bureaucrat.

Indeed, it does not work due to password issues. Can yiou reset the PW please ?

[robe]

hmm seems the ​https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Special:UserCredentials is not working or I am misunderstanding how it works. Still figuring out how to reset your password.

I assume you are talking about the Wiki-Till Adams one right?

[robe]

Till yah something is up with the resetpassword page too. That said, I renamed your wiki account to Ghost-Till Adams.

Can you try logging in with your ldap account? Once you do that I can merge your old account back in with your LDAP account.

[carmenTawalika]

Hi, I have the same problem after merging accounts. I can login with "carmenTawalika" and "CarmenTawalika" but both show the error. My id can be seen here ​https://id.osgeo.org/ldap/search?query=tawalika Thank you for your help.

[robe]

@carmenTawalika Can you give it another try now.

[carmenTawalika]

It works. That was super fast! Thank you :)

[mmetz]

Same problem here: my login name is mmetz, login and migration to LDAP worked, editing wiki does not work.

[robe]

@mmetz sorry for delay - try now -

[mmetz]

Working now, thanks!

How about a generic solution instead of fixing each user separately?

Yes, that is right. But something changed, I now get a "LDAP login failed", I guess before I had another message ...

Try logging in with tadams or whatever your LDAP account is. I renamed the old one to Ghost .. in hopes we could just have you create fresh and then I can merge that one into whichever one you are able to log into.

Dear, finally I managed to login with "tadams" but the merge with the old wiki account "!Till Adams" failed, which is not really a problem for me. Thanks so far!

Till - I just merged your old data into the Tadams Ldap user and restored your rights. Can you see if all looks good now and you can edit.

[tadams]

looks like everyting is there. Perfect, thanks!

[robe]

For everyone still having this issue - we've put a patch in production which hopefully should fix this. I'll close this ticket out in a couple of weeks if no one else is having issue after.

[Gérald Fenoy]

I do apologie but I was able to login and update to LDAP account. Nevertheless, once logged in using the LDAP user account I cannot edit any wiki page.

I hope you can help.

[robe]

@djay hmm does seem like your account is still "in process of migrating" status. Before I take that switch off, can you try logging out and logging back in? I'm hoping it's just your login was cached and it didn't trigger the script changes to take effect as a result.

[Gérald Fenoy]

@robe still same issue after logging out and logging back in.

[robe]

djay okay I've fixed your account. Please try again.

[pesekon2]

Same problem here: my login name is pesekon2, login and migration to LDAP worked, editing wiki does not work.

[robe]

pesekion2 Try now.

[pesekon2]

@robe: Works now. Thanks.

Ticket retargeted after milestone closed

[vrautenbach]

Hi Regina, I also have the same issue, unable to edit. My username is Vrautenbach. Would you be able to help or am I missing a step. Thank you in advance.

[robe]

@vrauenbach,

I thought your account had been cleared already, but looks like it wasn't. Try now.

FYI to any wiki admins,

Go to this page - ​https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Special:UserRights Type in the user name in question.

and uncheck the following groups (anybody in these groups can't edit)

• wiki account
• account in progress of converting

Converted users should be in at least this group:

• merged account

[vrautenbach]

@robe! Thanks, it works. Appreciate the help.

[bencaradocdavies]

I am getting the same error. Wiki login and LDAP migration worked fine, but I cannot edit my wiki home page. My username is bencaradocdavies.

"You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason: The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups: Users, emailconfirmed."

[strk]

On this page: ​https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Special:ListUsers?username=bencaradocdavies I see listed this record:

Bencaradocdavies talk contribs block‏‎ (account in progress of converting, merged account, wiki account) (Created on 26 January 2022 at 21:47)

The account in progress of converting label is a link, but if I click on it I go to a page which lists NOBODY in that group: ​https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Wikitoldap-in-progress

It sounds like a bug to me.

I've manually removed the "account in progress of converting" and "wiki account" groups from the account, using ​https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Special:UserRights/Bencaradocdavies - let us know if this fixed your issue.

[bencaradocdavies]

Thanks @strk, wiki editing seems fixed for me. Much appreciated.

I've just had to do this again for user vmische. This might be worth filing upstream: ​https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiToLDAP

User Vmische made a great report about how the user merge broke for him: ​https://gist.github.com/vmx/dca37d56fda76dbd8e800110798b6b49

[kthujvu]

'ello! One fix for ​https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/User:Kthujvu please, thanks :)

​https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Special:Preferences lists "Accounts in progress of converting, Accounts that have been merged, Old wiki accounts, Autoconfirmed users, Users"

I seem to have edited the wiki with this account in 2018 ​https://wiki.osgeo.org/w/index.php?title=OSGeo_Code_Sprint_2018&oldid=114126 but then joined a different wiki user (Hannes) with this one. Maybe that caused some hiccup?

[cvvergara]

@kthujvu can you please try again.

pushing to next milestone since my contract funds have been used.
