Description Kim Horne CLA 2008-01-16 12:02:08 EST
I am unable to log into IPZilla using the username and password that works with bugzilla.  Is this account (kim_horne@ca.ibm.com) not allowed to log into IPZilla for some reason?
Comment 1 Kim Horne CLA 2008-01-16 12:13:25 EST
Strangely enough, I CAN log in with kim@pookzilla.com which is not, to my reckonning, my official bugzilla log-in.  I do all my work (closing/fixing bugs) with this one.  I'm not sure why that one has any particular significance. 
Comment 2 Karl Matthias CLA 2008-01-16 12:48:26 EST
Kim,

That kim@pookzilla.com address is the one you have on file with the Foundation.  If you would like to change it to used the @ibm.com address that should resolve this problem.  Ipzilla only synchronizes committer accounts.  You must have two BZ accounts with the same password, one for each email address.  Since you have that one on file with us the system thinks it's your proper IPzilla address.  You can change it via the portal:

http://portal.eclipse.org

The synchronization happens during the night so it should take effect tomorrow.

I realized this is an unclear statement.  It should be read like this:

"I am guessing you have two BZ accounts with the same password, one for each of the mentioned email addresses".

I did not intend to say that you are required to have two accounts.

I have no problem using kim@pookzilla.com for ipzilla - it's no big deal now that I know.  What I do find strange is that I have two bugzilla accounts, each with some form of "committer" access.  If kim_horne@ca.ibm.com was a "normal" bugzilla account it shouldn't be able to mark bugs as fixed/closed should it?

The Bugzilla committer status is not automated in any way from our internal database (but it will be some day), so perhaps you started off with the @ibm address, then asked us to use the @pook address, blessing both with committer rights to bugs.
