Description Gleb Smirnoff freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-06-15 09:36:25 UTC
I'm trying to assign a bug to kp@FreeBSD.org, but bugzilla rewrites it to markp@FreeBSD.org.

The bug in question, if that matters is: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=172648

There doesn't appear to be an account in Bugzilla currently matching the login name (email) kp@f.o or kp@.

The symptom of assigning to markp@ is likely a result of auto-completion within the "Assign To" field.

Eg: I tested assigning this issue to kp@, and a number of user accounts with emails matching *kp@* are returned in the autocomplete list, of which one is markp

If kp hasn't yet created an account in Bugzilla, they may do so at any time by logging in with their current freefall username (not full email) and their existing kerberos credentials.

If those credentials have not yet been configured:

1) ssh to freefall.  run 'kinit'.  If you know what your kerberos
password is and it works, then you are good to go.

2) if you don't know what it is, ssh to 'kpasswd.freebsd.org' using
your regular ssh credentials. This will generate a new random kerberos
password for you. After this, you should be able to perform step 1.

If kp@ has an existing account, bu under a different email address (kristof@ for instance), they may update their email address to match their freefall account username

I also note that when I tried to assign this issue to kp@, the following error was returned by Bugzilla requesting additional information:

That was the case. I've updated my e-mail address. Bug 172648 now shows it's assigned to kp@.
