Description
I have a drupal 6.13 site running. I would like to add mantis to the website. I have a private test site with drupal 6.13 and mantis 1.1.8. Everything seems to work normal. If a user registers in drupal, bugbits creates the mantis account. The only thing I cannot figure out is how to get existing drupal user accounts (created before mantis and bugbits where added) into mantis.
In the "Recent log entries" section I see this:
User TommyC doesn't exist in mantis, failed mantis_id check.
and:
Error user TommyC was not able to log into Mantis
Is there someone who can help out?

I'm working on that feature, it will be the option for the user to link his drupal account to his mantis account. Automatic sync is on the feature list in the long run, but that will be a while :)

Thanks for your time and especially the quick response.
Being able to link two existing accounts from the account page is indeed a nice feature but is not what I'm talking about.
The users I'm talking about currently only have drupal accounts, no mantis accounts. Since new drupal users are automatically added to mantis it would seem to me that it should also be possible and relatively easy to enable site admins to do the same thing for a large amount of existing drupal users.

That is something that is going to be done, in the long run, but we need to make sure that no problems arise from that.
