Re: 0.7.0 Bugs

Nevertheless, I've installed 0.7 (using .mdf file in app_data and some inbase manipulations).

All in all - version 0.7 is great! :-)
I think it's much better than 0.6.7.

But I have some problems here...

1. Mail. I setup smtp configuration in Administration, but in any mail send (on password retrieve, for example) there is an error " 'From' field must be specified in mail send" - or something like.

2. Windows authentification. I setup admin user while in 'forms' authentification mode. Set up site. Then switch to windows authentification. This user log in nicely, but have no 'Administration' tab anymore. Changed back to 'forms' - tab appear again. How it is possible to admin project while in Windows Auth mode?

Just notice - there is strange code in SVN for AuthentificationModule.cs:

//get host settings
//bool enabled = Boolean.Parse(HostSettings.GetHostSetting("EnableWindowsAuthentication"));
bool enabled = true;

//check if windows authentication is enabled in the host settings
if (enabled)
{

I wonder is it supposed to be so? ;-)

1. I have recorded the first bug and will fix it soon.

2. It should be possible if the user is apart of the project administrators for the role. To be a super user they have to be added to the super users role.

To enable seamless integration of windows authentication you need to uncomment the bugnet windows authentication httpmodule in the web.config and switch the authentication to windows from forms in the web.config.

That code was changed to uncomment the enabled line. It wouldn't effect anything because the httpmodule is commented out in the web.config.

Since I can't report bugs in the tracker here is a list of the issues I have encountered so far:

I can't disable anonymous access and user registration in the "Authentication Settings" section of Administration. When I do this no one can log in and an error is thrown related to Banner.aspx. I had to delete all of the records in the HostSettings table and re-insert all of the default records from the BugNet.Data.SqlDataProvider.sql file for the site to function again.
The "Recently Added Issues" section on the "Report Issue" page displays under the layer for the Category and Type combo boxes if the recent issues are too long. This renders the recently added issues un-readable.
Trying to add a "Related Issue" to a bug report causes an error page to be thrown in regards to the BugTabs.ascx control. I had to delete the record from the RelatedBug table for the site to function again.
I tried to set up the "SMTP Server Settings" in Administration and test it by logging out and using the "Forgot Password" function on the home page. Unfortunately, I must not have configured the SMTP settings properly, so when I entered in my e-mail address on the "Forgot Password" page I was taken to an error page . This resulted in my password being changed but the email not being sent which made it impossible to login. The e-mail should probably be sent first and then the database entry should be updated. If the e-mail logic fails due to mis-configuration then the database entry should not be updated.
The "Manage Password" function in Administration does not appear to work at all from what I can tell. Due to what happened in the previous error I tried to change the password for that user but was unsuccessful. I finally had to go into the aspnet_Membership table and change the PasswordFormat field to 0 (zero) and enter a plain text password for that user to be able to login again.
This is not a bug, however, when I have to enter multiple bugs into the system I must return to the home page to click on "Report Issue" just to have access to a link that points to the "Report Issue" page. My suggestion would be to show "Report Issue" on the menu tab for every page to make it easier to report bugs.

If you need the actual errors that the pages generated I can get them, but I will need to find the time when I can do it.

Thanks, Rip

1 & 2. I will look into this.

3. This has been fixed now.

4. Will be fixed soon.

5. This needs to be tweaked or hidden rather . You cannot reset your password when you are using hashed passwords as it is a one way hash. You need to use the retreive password page to get your password.

6. Good idea, the same for reports.

Oh, yes, I had edit web.config - Widows Auth worked correctly.

And super user role was enabled.

But 'Administration' tab did not appear. After switch to 'Forms' auth - for the same user (with no changes to it's roles) - 'Administration' appear again.

Re: 0.7.0 Bugs

Not a really bug, but...

After session expire BugNet give exception text about 'Specified argument was out of the range of valid values. Parameter name: userName'

Very confusing... :)
