Can't login with anyone other than administrator/root

Hi -

Installed the latest Mantis (1.0rc2), install went very smoothly. mysql backend on a hosted website. Logged in with the default password created during install and all fuctionality seems to be working. Created two different test users, after clicking the link in the confirmation emails and updating password, new user is redirected to login screen but can never login. Cleared all cookies in cache, tried two different web browsers (firefox and ie). Still the only user that can log in is the admin/root.

Mantis seems very slick, I must be missing something obvious... any help appreciated.

TIA.

Hmmm - well after overriding login method from MD5 to PLAIN, and resetting the user passwords directly in the db, now everything works. Going to try other auth methods, if anything else works (anything would be better than plain) then I'll post another followup.

Elsewise it seems either that there is something wrong with my config that prevents MD5 method from working, or there is something broken in Mantis implementation of MD5.

Looking forward to getting this into our workflow, seems like a very nice BT and after seeing some of the others out there we're very glad to find Mantis.

OK, well I guess this might be a waste of bandwith to all you Mantis gurus, but in case anybody else ever runs into this issue I will leave this thread here. CRYPT works fine, so it seems that for whatever reason MD5 auth method won't work on my setup (mysql, linux box hosted elsewhere). CRYPT is good enough for me, so try it if you run into problems with users not being able to log in.

Bye.
