Anonymous user enabled, can't login

Post by select »

After enabling Anonymous logins with the username "Anonymous", I can't seem to login to my admin account, as it just takes me back to the anoyn page. Any ideas?

I just thought I would post a follow up after I downloaded the current stable release I had issues with Anonymous user access also. I found through reading the bugs and just happening to try the right thing.

I followed the directions from the wiki http://www.mantisbt.org/wiki/doku.php/m ... ous_access
I created an "Anonymous" account.
When I added the variables into the config.inc.php I added them as such

Code: Select all

# --- anonymous login -----------
$g_allow_anonymous_login = ON;
$g_anonymous_account = 'anonymous';
Notice anything? The user account has a capitol "A" and the $g_anonymous_account = 'anonymous'; has a lower case "a"

So take note that the account name has to match EXACTLY with the value set in $g_anonymous_account.

Hopefully I can save someone a half hour.
Best Regards,
Brandon
