Topic: SME 5.1.2 to 5.5 with IMP 3.0 and PHP upgrades already in pl

[Reggie]

As the topic states, I have already been running IMP 3.0 and the PHP upgrade per Dan's How-to. Should I anticipate any difficulties when attempting to upgrade to 5.5?

[Dan Brown]

When I checked as of beta9, the IMP and PHP RPMs they used appeared to be just rebuilt copies of mine, so there shouldn't be a problem.  They did, however, considerably improve on my e-smith-horde and e-smith-imp RPMs.

Thanks Dan! I was hoping you would see this post.

Question, I've upgraded my 5.1.2 SME server which had the IMP 3.0 and PHP upgrades already in place to SME 5.5. Upgrade when fine without a problem except for one minor issue. After the upgrade, when ever anyone uses webmail (the url they use is www.myserver.address/webmail) the user show "admin". What do I need to do to correct this so that the user name field is blank like before? Thanks any and all help.

I have the same problem over here. Sometimes the admin user appears. When I reboot the server it dissappears. Anyone got a suggestion?

Here is the smart-assed answer from Rich at Mitel.

Sheesh, the source is right there! But enough people have asked this
without looking that I figured I might as well. From
horde/imp/templates/login/login.inc:

 
 

And from horde/lib/Horde.php:

    function getFormData($var, $default = null)
    {
        if (isset($GLOBALS['HTTP_POST_VARS'][$var])) {
            return Horde::dispelMagicQuotes($GLOBALS['HTTP_POST_VARS'][$var]);
        } elseif (isset($GLOBALS['HTTP_GET_VARS'][$var])) {
            return Horde::dispelMagicQuotes($GLOBALS['HTTP_GET_VARS'][$var]);
        } else {
            return $default;
        }
    }

So if $imapuser isn't set (and it won't be), it uses the current value
of $REMOTE_USER, which is "admin" if you happen to be logged into the
server-manager. (If you happened to be logged into your fnord i-bay,
it'd be "fnord".)

Smart-assed maybe, but it also appears to be complete and accurate, which is more than can be said for any of the other answers (mine included).

[jb]

I know it is accurate, but he didn't have be-little everyone else.  I figure if one knew where to look for the answer, then one wouldn't ask the question.

Noted, thanks.
