Description

I had tested this successfully in version 3.3, but now with the upgrade to version 4.0 it does not seem to work. Here are the steps to recreate the issue:

1. Set up a TikiWiki so that users need to be validated by an Admin prior to actually logging in.

2. Register as a new user and get the following message:

Your account request has been stored and will be activated by the admin as soon as possible.
You'll receive email notification once your account is activated.
Please do not attempt to login until you receive the email notification.

3. Log in as 'admin' and navigate to Users page of admin tools. Push the round green checkmark graphic which has a hover display that says "Validate user: junkman". It sends me to this URL:

http://www.mywebsite.info/tiki-login_validate.php?user=junkman&pass=n

On that page the site returns a simple dialog box that says "Invalid username or password". Who's username & password? The Admin's?

At this point it wants to redirect me to the home page and I cannot get these new users validated.

Solution
This was fixed by Sylvie Greverend in rev:23514. The fix was released in Tiki 4.1.
