CAS warning for a new user

Try turning on auto-register users in the user account settings for Drupal.

I'm in the process of rolling a new release that will fix this.

Or you could download the HEAD version.

See the following issue for more details.

http://drupal.org/node/121837

Try one more time, downloading from HEAD. Sorry for the inconvenience, but I forgot that the tarball hadn't built yet when I last sent the message. I really had just commited this code. If that doesn't work report back your cas settings page, especially the settings labeled "user account settings" and I'll look into it further.

Ok, looked at the code and the error some more and am more confused than ever.

Oddly the code that's throwing the error is in the function that tests permissions. it would seem to imply that there are no roles assigned to the user, which is odd. I've scoured my code to find a place where roles are missing in the user account creation, but can't find any.

I noticed that you're working on a multisite install, that is, you've got tables that are prefixed with portal. I'm starting to suspect that the bug is related to that. Is there any way that you can confirm this in your environment? Do you have any non-multisite installs that you can test against?

I'm getting stumped and I can't reproduce the problem.

Any info you can give me about your multisite configuration would be helpful.

Likely I'll have to try and duplicate your multisite install or give you custom debugging code to get to the bottom of this.

Have you tryied destroying the previously created account after the upgrading to the HEAD version ? I'm not sure about it, but the previous version may have created a buggy user account. I had exactly the same error, and the HEAD version solved it.

Hello,

I have the same problem,
but no multisite install, and i'am not upgrading from a 4.7.

drico,

Could you let me know what version you're using? 5-x or Head, and what your cas settings are? Have you configured user account settings to allow user accounts to be created automatically?

We're trying to narrow this down, but need more info. I'd also like to know from any who are experiencing this problem, what PHP version you're running and whether clean url's are enabled or no.

Do you use the Profile module ?

I may be wrong, but I had exactly the same problem today after activating the Profile module - I still haven't had time to try to understand why.

Likewise, with a reproducible path, I'm sure between the three of us we'll find the bug and squash it! I'll try and work on this tonight.

Got it. The insert hook for for profile.module does some permissions check that were causing a problem because the $user object wasn't done loading. Because these things require administrative permission to perform, I've added some code that will make Cas become the admin user (user 1) for the duration of user_save event. This solved the problem.

I've applied a fix to HEAD that will solve this problem.

Sorry to reopen a dreadfully old issue, but this problem seems to have cropped up again. I am seeing this in 6.x-2.0, with Profile and Content Profile enabled (if that's important). The errors are basically only different in line numbers I believe:

array_fill() [<a href='function.array-fill'>function.array-fill</a>]: Number of elements must be positive in /var/www/drupal/core6/includes/database.inc on line 253.

implode() [<a href='function.implode'>function.implode</a>]: Invalid arguments passed in /var/www/drupal/core6/includes/database.inc on line 253.

array_keys() [<a href='function.array-keys'>function.array-keys</a>]: The first argument should be an array in /var/www/drupal/core6/modules/user/user.module on line 502.

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ')' at line 1 query: SELECT p.perm FROM role r INNER JOIN permission p ON p.rid = r.rid WHERE r.rid IN () in /var/www/drupal/core6/modules/user/user.module on line 502.

The error in user.module is part of the user_access function, if that helps. I can't really help debug this because I do not administrate our CAS server and thus can't log in as anyone other than myself.

I've enabled the profile module and not been able to reproduce the error. I guess that leaves us stumped. Perhaps you could let me know more about your user account settings? The code that fixed this document case is still in place and appears to be functioning. You might consider adjusting the module weight of content profile, but I'm really at a loss as to what could be causing this.

This is also accompanied by four instances of the following warning in my PHP error log:
[error] [client 10.66.57.149] PHP Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /var/www/drupal/core6/modules/dblog/dblog.module on line 138, referer: https://cas-server.example.com:443/....

A couple things that you might note - although the error is the same as the OP, the line numbers in database.inc and user.module are different. If you think this might be a different issue, we can open a new one. Also, I am using Content Profile in addition to Profile. If you need me to figure out what other modules on my site implement hook_user I can try to find out.

BTW, I know this is a somewhat non-specific error, but I'm certain that it's at least aggravated by CAS, since normal user account creation doesn't cause problems. I appreciate your help.

Lets start a new issue on this since, i'm pretty sure the fix on this one is still functional. This seems like it must be a different issue. In the issue be sure and document all of your User Account Settings. I think this one might be related to default roles, since that's the part of the query that's blowing up.
