[admin.sma] User is not the same as UseR

Dzyzus · **Author**

I have a problem. I think it's bug. I added admin in users.ini ("Dzyzus" "password" "b" "a") Then going to console and writeing a fake password setinfo _pw blablabla and connecting to the server and I got
"* Invalid Password!
Kicked :"You have no entry to the server.." (It's ok)
Then writeing name "DzyzuS"
and connecting again. Guess what I can connect and did not get any
"* Invalid Password!
Kicked :"You have no entry to the server.." message
Then I connected to the server writeing again name "Dzyzus" and I got:
"* Invalid Password!
Unknown command: amxauthEDHZ (<-- what's here?)
Kicked :"You have no entry to the server..."

I don't get why this would be a bug. Admins are always checked case-sensitive; if you want to change that, change the line

Code:

else if (equal(name, g_aName[i]))

to

Code:

else if (equali(name, g_aName[i]))

and you should be fine.

Seems pretty illogical for a name to be case sensitive to me (clan tags are also case sensitive)

Maybe as a compromise solution add an option (define disabled by default)?

No, this is a bug. Half-Life's names are not case insensitive, I see no reason why these should be.

The reason this bug has lived on this long is because frankly nobody uses name/tag authentication. It's more advisable to use SteamID authentication.

This is fixed in revision 3298
