[rt-users] ModifySelf Privilege Prevents Login

[Behzad Mahini]

Hoping this additional piece of Information from Apache 'error_log"  
file would provide more clue for debugging:


====
[error]: FAILED LOGIN for root from xx.xxx.xx.xxx (/some_dir_xxx/share/ 
html/autohandler:268)
====

lines of the code within "autohandler" that the above error message is  
pointing to are:

====
unless( $session{'CurrentUser'} ) {
     # If the user is logging in, let's authenticate
     if( defined $user && defined $pass ) {
         my $user_obj = RT::CurrentUser->new;
         $user_obj->Load( $user );

         unless ( $user_obj->id && $user_obj->IsPassword( $pass ) ) {
             $RT::Logger->error("FAILED LOGIN for $user from  
$ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'}");	<<..........line 268, WHERE the complaint is  
being made...>>
             $m->comp( '/Elements/Login', %ARGS,
                       Error => loc('Your username or password is  
incorrect'),
                     );
             $m->callback( %ARGS, CallbackName => 'FailedLogin' );
             $m->abort;
         }
         $session{'CurrentUser'} = $user_obj;
         $RT::Logger->info(
             "Successful login for $user from $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'}");
         $m->callback( %ARGS, CallbackName => 'SuccessfulLogin' );
     }
     # if no credentials then show him login page
     else {
         $m->comp( '/Elements/Login', %ARGS );
         $m->abort;
     }
}
