Possible bug with Active Directory & new repository

2011-12-11T02:41:38Z

We are running our own copy of Kiln. Our users are Active Directory users. When I add a new repository and then click the "clone" link to view the URL to clone the URL is something like:

http://David Dorothy@kiln.worthwhile.com/kiln/Repo/Project/Group/RepoName

However, once I click the browser's refresh button the URL becomes:

http://kiln.worthwhile.com/kiln/Repo/Project/Group/RepoName

I believe that the second rendering is correct. Possibly the JavaScript does not know that it should be listed that way till after the page is refreshed?

This is a minor annoyance but it would be nice to get it corrected if possible.

I primarily use Chrome for using the web interface of Kiln.

This has nothing to do with Active Directory, and we've already changed the behavior for the next version of Kiln, but it's not really a bug per se.

Way back in the Depths of Time, before the kilnauth extension, we encouraged using the [auth] section of your Mercurial.ini file for storing your login and password. In order to help Mercurial get the right username, we embedded it directly in the URL.

Nowadays, that's not necessary, and (as you've noticed) is quite confusing. The next version of Kiln to ship to licensed customers in just a few weeks drops this part of the clone URL. But rest assured that both URLs should actually work just fine.
