Inconsistent wildcard searches for users or groups when integrated with Crowd

    • Severity 3 - Minor

      NOTE: This bug report is for Confluence Cloud. Using Confluence Server? See the corresponding bug report.

      Confluence instance which integrated with Crowd, seems to return an inconsistence result when searching users or groups(created via Crowd) using wildcards.
      For example, there is a user called "testuser" being added in the Crowd instance. Doing a search in the Confluence's Manage Users page with the following input to the username session returns the result as outlined:

      Search query Result
      * Return all users from Crowd and Confluence (including the user, testuser)
      test* Return no result
      t* Return no result
      testuser* Return the expected result

      The situation is reproducible when searching for groups which were created in Crowd too. The inconsistency occurred when assigning space permission to groups.

            Hi There

            Thanks for taking the time to raise this issue. As you are no doubt aware this has been on our backlog for quite some time now with very little attention in that time. Rather than leave this here I'm going to close this issue as won't fix. I believe that this better reflects the status of this issue.

            Regards

            This should be MAJOR at least and probably CRITICAL. Group and user search is completely broken for us. Also, raised a support issue regarding case sensitive issues after integrating with Crowd. We are on 2.7.1 with crowd 1.4.1

            We are also affected by this bug running the latest versions of both Confluence and Crowd. I do not think that this should be marked as a minor bug, as it effectively renders group searching useless and makes it very difficult for both admins and regular users to find the correct group for e.g. restricting individual pages.

            Thanks very much - looking forwards to a fix.

            We run Confluence 2.6.0 integrated with Crowd 1.1.2 and users or groups created in Crowd or managed in the attached AD produce the above described effect.
