Not without a full report of what doesn't work. It'd also be interesting to know if it works on other community sites like the wiki.

What error do you get?

I assume you don't have any non-ascii characters in the password? I'm
not reallysure how the CF code would deal with that...

Are you sure it didn't log you in transparently because you were
already logged in at www.postgresql.org and you got redirected back to
the same page *but logged in*? (Upper right corner should tell you)

> My login/password doesn't work on http://pgfoundry.org.

That's completly unrelated - it's not part of te postgresql.org
community auth system.

Hmm. I got a sneaky suspicion this might've broken with the new django
version. The CF app is I believe the only app that still uses the old
way to log in that was deprecated sometime around dec 2011, that might
be why nobody else has bumped into it.

Ok, I've found the problem. it was caused by the upgrade of django -
anybody who has had their password changed after that one now has one
that's incompatible with the legacy login method, which the CF app
uses.

I think I know how to work around this, but it'll be some time before
I have a chance to actually test it properly, and I don't want to
tweak org-wide authentication settings without having proper testing
in place :) But I'll get to it as soon as I can.

I've pushed a fix for this.

You need to log in once to the main www.postgresql.org website for
things to be properly updated, and once you've done that you should be
able to log in to the cf site again. If you already have a persistent
session on the main website you need to first log out and then back in
- it's not enough to just access a logged-in resource. You do both
these by clicking "Your account" in the main menu.
