Hello,

I am using dokuwiki, a WIKI programmed in PHP and I have the problem
that, in spite of the granted access rights inside DokuWiki, , members
of a certain user group are not able to access parts of the Wiki they
should be able to access. To find the cause of the problem, I added
some lines to the DokuWiki code to get get more debug ouput.

So, from the login, I get the following debug ouput:

user = christoph.pleger
groups = prof

But from checking if the logged in user has access rights for a
specific Wiki document, I get the following debug output:

user = christoph%2epleger
groups = prof%a

So, my suspicion is that the problem is caused by those strange
character sequences "%2e" and "%a". What can be done to remove them an
get the same user and groups strings as above?

Regards
