I have been told about a log in problem that I have been able to replicate. If you click on the link I provide in my monthly emails to log in, say, http://authors.repec.org/login?christian.zimmermann@uconn.edu, a correct password will not log you in. Furthermore, the events log will say: 16:54:14 Christian Zimmermann session (user) * login: christian.zimmermann@uconn.edu * userdata file: /home/aras/acis/userdata/c/h/christian.zimmermann@uconn.edu.xml * IP: 128.111.225.205 * record-id: repec:per:1964-12-14:christian_zimmermann * record-short-id: pzi1 * sesid: dc7afbd8 Log [type] class - action description request - handled * screen: login record identifier * id: repec:per:1964-12-14:christian_zimmermann * sid: pzi1 auth - success user entered * humanname: Christian Zimmermann * login: christian.zimmermann@uconn.edu * file: /home/aras/acis/userdata/c/h/christian.zimmermann@uconn.edu.xml * IP: 128.111.225.205 auth user re-entered * IP: 128.111.225.205 request - handled * screen: login which is more than confusing, as its states that authorization was successful.

addendum: after this "failed" attempt, if you click on "home", there is a link stating that you are logged in, and indeed you are. So: for some reason a login page in given after login, while it should be the menu page. Christian Zimmermann FIGUGEGL!

Yes, I was very surprised, and I have been able to reproduce the bug. However, what you submit here is not a valid URL, I think. To be valid has to be local_part?param1=value1¶m2=value2 etc Here, your local part is "login", and then you submit a parameter name, not a value for it. I suspect we could rewrite the URL with mod_rewrite to make it acceptable, but I doubt this is good practice. http://authors.repec.org/?login=christian.zimmermann@uconn.edu should work as expected. http://authors.repec.org/?login=krichel@openlib.org works for me.

Well, this is what Ivan told me to use way back, and it worked at least initially. So something changed in the meanwhile. But I will amend the email templates and all will be fine.

Possibly, I suspect that has to do with CGI parsing. Cheers, Thomas Krichel http://openlib.org/home/krichel RePEc:per:1965-06-05:thomas_krichel skype: thomaskrichel
