Re: Ledgersmb Authentication issue

I am having authentication issues with a couple of my usernames.  I created the following users with corresponding passwords:

tatiane.marshall
marisa.mendes
neidiane.pereira

I am able to login with tatiane.marshall, but not the other two. Using my admin ID, I go to the Admin Users section and edit both of the problem users by setting their password again.  Unfortunately, this doesn't change anything.  In my apache error_log I get the following errors:


[Mon Feb 06 14:34:58 2012] [error] [client 192.168.1.50] DBI connect('dbname=StallusBoutique','marisa.mendes',...) failed: FATAL:  password authentication failed for user "marisa.mendes" at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14.2/LedgerSMB.pm line 982, referer: http://192.168.1.10/ledgersmb/login.pl

At one point, I changed one of the user's password to the same as mine to make sure it wasn't bombing on the actual password for some reason. It still failed though.  In case it is relevant, the working username (tatiane.marshall) was the last one created.

As an update, I am able to login to PostgreSQL via psql from the server using both of the problem user IDs.  From the prompt I entered:

psql StallusBoutique -U neidiane.pereira -W

After being prompted, I enter this user's password and successfully connect.

Actually, it appears that the above test will accept any password, even one that is incorrect so it must allow this since I was logged onto the machine as the postgres user.  Repeating the original steps logging in via Ledgersmb, my pg_log shows the following:

2012-02-06 15:38:01 BRST StallusBoutique neidiane.pereira FATAL:  password authentication failed for user "neidiane.pereira"
2012-02-06 15:38:03 BRST StallusBoutique neidiane.pereira FATAL:  password authentication failed for user "neidiane.pereira"
