Description

« Hide

A user has reported that a NullPointerException occurs on line 59 of UserList.java, when the User returned is null.

The likely cause of this is a username returned by LDAP, which the UserAccessor was not able to find a matching User for. The lines below that assume that the 'user' variable isn't null, causing an NPE.

I see this on a regular basis, most users cant get it do list ldap groups correctly, even when we know what 'confluence' version of the displayName is.

NullPointerException
PagerUtils:25
UserList.getGroupUsers:91
UserList.build:39
UserLister:79

This appears to be fixed for quite some time (version 1.2 of this plugin). Please update to a more recent version of Confluence or update this plugin if this is still an issue for you.

Cheers,
Andrew Lynch

No review necessary as this issue was fixed some time ago but not marked as fixed.
