When you do not use the new AA system (by putting the line "jspwiki.security=container" in the properties file) the cookie JSPWikiAssertedName is set to null when you try to fill in a WikiName on the Preferences page and not updated to the provided wiki name.
As a consequence a user is always considered as an "(Anonymous) Guest".

This problem also occurs when running without AA on WebSphere. It looks like there are quite a few things that run well on Tomcat, but not on other containers.....

This has nothing todo with the server, it does not work under Tomcat (or Jetty) neither.

This seemed to be a problem with the template I was using, not with JSPWiki itself.
The cookie is correctly set now but users are still considered as guest.
These are the relevant log lines:

I tested it with the default template under Tomcat 5.15

I think this one can be closed, feel free to re-open if you think I'm wrong.
