Steps to Reproduce
- Configure authentication through the Active directory on the system for PRWebLdap authentication service.
- Create an Operator ID with user name 'test' on the application.
- Enable external authentication.
- Open the URL, /prweb/PRWebLDAP1.
- Enter the user name, Test.
- Enter the password and press Log in. Check the Operator ID record after login. Username is changed from 'test' value to 'Test'.
Root Cause
The AuthenticationLDAPWebVerifyCredentials activity was invoked from the Authentication service rule as the authentication activity.
In this activity, in Step 9,
Property-Set page Operator
.pyUserIdentifier = param.UserIdentifier
.pyImportedUser = "true"
where param.UserIdentifier is the input parameter from the login form.
Therefore, pyUserIdentifier changed after login.
Resolution
As a local-change, use AuthenticationLDAPVerifyCredentials.
