Bug Description

I have trouble logging in to the Ubuntu and KUbuntu Wikis. When I select "Log In / Register" in the top right corner, I takes me to the launchpad login process, successfully logs me into launchpad, and returns to the wiki page. However the wiki doesn't recognize my login. The top right corner is still says "Log In / Register", I can't edit pages or when I select an entry from the "More Actions" dropdown list I get "Please log in first." Looking at launchpad.net says I'm logged in, though. It's been some time ago, but I have been able to edit the wiki in the past ...

Btw. It's completely unclear where to turn in case of problems with the wiki... Actually I don't even know where to report this problem, whether launchpad is appropriate and if yes which "package"??

Yes, I do. The wiki still doesn't recognize my login. Oh, in case this didn't become clear from my original message, I'm talking about the OpenID login here. Using my Launchpad account "https://launchpad.net/~redm". I created a different account for testing and this works fine. So it really seems that there was some transition in past, where something got lost.

Sorry for the delay. This seems to be a problem in the way that the wiki and Launchpad talk to each other so I'm assigning it to the moin-openid project which is responsible for that code. Hopefully they will be able to help you out.

I'm glad in the meantime you have found a temporary solution by creating a new user.

@Psychotron I believe that your login should now work (you may have to logout and log back in again). Could you please verify this is true?

Cool! Yes, it seems to work fine now. Thanks a lot!

I think it would be good to have some information in the wiki where to turn in case of problems e.g. "In case of problems report them in Launchpad under the package XYZ" somewhere in the help section. I simply dropped it somewhere into Launchpad hoping someone would direct it to the proper place. This kinda worked, but I guess it could have been faster, if there had been a "Wiki" (or whatever) package to report to (at least I didn't find one).

I'm having trouble logging in to the ubuntu wiki using a launchpad account. I clicked the "login/register" button from an ubuntu wiki page, and was transferred to the launchpad login service, I logged in, was given an authorisation page, then clicked continue. At that point I landed on a moinmoin error:

"HTTPFetchingError
(77, 'Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?)')"

Have attached the debug info available from the error page.

Appologies if this should be in a new bug.
