[Opensim-dev] Problem with User server in grid mode retrieving User Profile

[Alan M Webb]

Yes, I stumbled over the same thing too. What I discovered (well actually 
Mic Bowman or John Hurliman): For security reasons, the user server 
suppresses password information in remote requests for user profile 
information. This is deliberate and necessary to preserve the fragile 
shreds of security we currently have.

Best regards

[Opensim-dev] Problem with User server in grid mode retrieving User 
Profile



Hi:

I'm having a strange problem retrieving user profiles only in GRID mode 
(standalone works ok): the field PasswordHash (I need this field to do a 
xmlrpc authentication) is empty.

I'm using version 0.6, I can't remember the svn release, it's from 1 week 
ago, Windows XP SP3, Net 2.0 and Mysql.

I couldn't find any issue in Mantis so my question is: is this a feature 
for grid mode or something similar?

The code in MySQLUserData.cs is the same for both modes and couldn't find 
any "strange" line in User Server code:

IDbCommand result = dbm.Manager.Query("SELECT * FROM " + m_agentsTableName 
+ " WHERE UUID = ?uuid",
                                                      param);


Any idea?

Greetings
