I've never been able to login.

If I try to login to Bespin using the username and password I entered in the registration form I see the dashboard for less than a second, then I'm directed back to the frontpage. If I try again nothing happens at all until I delete the Auth cookie and reload the page. Then I see the same behavior as described, again.

At all times on the frontpage the response for
https://bespin.mozilla.com/register/userinfo/ is 401 Unauthorized

In case I was supposed to see some confirmation after registration and/or receive an activation email, none of those happened.

Reproducible: Always

It appears that there is an error for usernames with spaces in them. Short term, I will see if we can fix that error. Slightly longer term than that, we're going to disallow spaces in usernames anyhow (because usernames will be used on the Bespin command line).

Usernames are no longer allowed to have spaces. All user accounts that previously had spaces in the usernames have had the spaces removed. (If need be, the spaces were replaced by "-", if there was already a username that was the same as the user's name but with the spaces omitted).

As of Bespin 0.1.3, this is fixed.

Indeed, this bug was fixed right prior to the release of 0.1.3.

The server-side conversion of usernames was committed in changeset 86a6ada8ef4f and disallowing of spaces was committed in changeset 4f73e9e89e81.

This is a mass migration from Mozilla Labs :: Bespin to Bespin :: Server.
