users with ldap usernames that are UPPERCASE fail isViewingMyProfile() thus edit tabs and createPersonalSpace links do not work when viewing your perferences

XMLWordPrintable

      When an LDAP user whose name in LDAP is in uppercase views their preferences, only 'View Profile' tab is visible.
      'Edit Profile', 'Labels', 'Watches' and 'Drafts' are missing, as well as CreatePersonalSpace link.

      This used to work in 2.7.1.

      The reason these tabs don't work is because isViewingMyProfile returns false, when it should be returning true.

      Adding extra debug shows that fails because it is comparing different cases of the same username e.g.

      ADMIN == admin returns false.

            I am attaching a patch (the attached zip file) that will work for confluence 3.0.x

            1) Please place the attached PersonalInformation.class in your confluence/WEB-INF/classes/com/atlassian/confluence/user directory (you will need to create the user directory).
            2) Then restart confluence.

            This will resolve your problem.

            Kind Regards,
            Partha Kamal

            Hi Justin,

            Unfortunately this bug will not be fixed in the next bug fixing release. However given the popularity of this issue we might consider fixing it in a near feature.

            Any chance this can get added to an upcoming release of Confluence?

            Just confirmed - the problem still occurs and the patch is still good for 2.10.3. A clarification - the problem only occurs with mixed case usernames; mixed case full names don't experience the issue.

            I tried Confluence 2.10.1 and OpenLDAP with a mixed case name (cn=My Name) and it works correctly even without the patch.
