Description Max Spevack 2004-11-05 20:04:29 UTC 
Description of problem:
During the satellite install, you can submit this form multiple times,
and create as many org admins as you like.

https://$HOSTNAME/newlogin/create_satellite.pxt

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.6

Expected results:
Only one org admin allowed!
Comment 1 Robin Norwood 2004-11-12 15:04:36 UTC 
Fixed in CVS.


Test plan:

1) Perform satellite 3.6 install.
2) After creating the first user, return to the 'create_satellite.pxt'
page, enter a different username, and click 'commit' again.
3) You should get a 500 error in the browser, and a messae in the
/etc/httpd/logs/error_log:
Attempt to create satellite user when a user already exists

Is that a success? I followed the test plan and I achieve precisely
that. Ugly though.
Comment 3 Robin Norwood 2004-12-01 15:46:47 UTC 
We don't generally go out of our way to make things pretty for people
who are doing 'funny' things.  Using the back button to try to create
a second first user counts as 'funny' in my book.

Mass move from PROD_READY to CLOSED:CURRENTRELEASE
