[Tiki-devel] PAM authentication -- first login attempt fails, but second works

I posted about this in the forum, but received no responses, other than
one that suggested that I post here.

I am trying to configure tiki version 24 to allow logins via PAM
authentication.

I have configured this and ensured that the users in question have login
access to the server where Tiki is running.

When a new user logs into Tiki for the first time, the login attempt will
fail with an "Authentication Error," presumably because the user has no
Tiki account at that time. After this, the Tiki account is created and
subsequent logins to Tiki will succeed.

Is this the normal and expected behavior? Tiki is getting the login and
password information through PAM without difficulty, so that seems to
be configured properly.

This is not a deal-breaker, but is still pretty annoying behavior.

I am running Tiki on CentOS Stream 8 and would be happy to provide any
logs or other information that would be helpful.

Thanks.
