[Owncloud] Problems in Shibboleth authentication in ownCloud 6.

[Sérgio Afonso]

Hya,

In the process of trying to solve the issue with Shibboleth 
authentication in Owncloud 6 with app user_servervars, I tried to debug 
some of the OC_* methods called by the app.

I put this lines inside the code:

                OC_Log::write('servervars', \OCP\User::getUsers("", 10, 
0), OC_Log::DEBUG);
                OC_Log::write('servervars', 
OC_User::userExists("sergionunoafonso at xx.up.pt"), OC_Log::DEBUG);
                OC_Log::write('servervars', 
\OCP\User::userExists("sergionunoafonso at xx.up.pt"), OC_Log::DEBUG);

And after a successful authentication I see the following in the logs:

{"app":"servervars","message":["safonso"],"level":0,"time":"2013-12-16T17:40:30+00:00"}
{"app":"servervars","message":"1","level":0,"time":"2013-12-16T17:40:30+00:00"}
{"app":"servervars","message":"1","level":0,"time":"2013-12-16T17:40:30+00:00"}

I am a little confused here.. If getUsers only tells me I have one user 
(safonso) which is true, then why the methods OC_User::userExists and 
\OCP\User::userExists called with the user "sergionunoafonso at xx.up.pt" 
is telling me the user exists?

Can anyone explain this behavior?

Cheers,
Sérgio
