Description
Hi,
I am trying to get 2.3 to work, but I am stuck on "The name belongs to a registered user.".
I set "access secured pages" permission for securesite also to anonymous users.
How to get this message away and securesite working?
I got a blank field for guest user, and am not able to type something in it, but it has a red border around it.
Thanks for going into this.
Greetings, Martijn

This means that one of your users has created an account with the same name you are using for the guest user. You must change either the user name or the guest name.

Hi,
You where right! Somehow I got a user with Anonymous user as name in my useradmin. I deleted this user, and now it works.
Thanks for your quick reply!
greetings,

this is real trouble on large loaded sites
cause
if Your site was for anonymous users but during its growing process Your users became registered with the same names - trouble is global
F.E. content manager wants to edit old message - but always got this error. Changing names - is not good - sometimes it can be non-legal (copyright)
If this bug (Yes, this is bug! cause superadmin may edit everything!) woudn`t be fixed try this small fix in comment.module
$taken = db_result(db_query("SELECT COUNT(uid) FROM {users} WHERE LOWER(name) = '%s'", $edit['name']));
/*
if ($taken != 0) {
form_set_error('name', t('The name you used belongs to a registered user.'));
}
*/
}
But remember!!!! - with commenting this code users can change their usernames in comments into Registered usernames (possible)
ps. sorry for my english

moving this to core comment.module queue
we need to handle such situation in right way
