I have just tested this on my local machine (2.0 rc2), and I cannot log
in with any unapproved user.
I have multiple MapDefinitions.

I agree that it would be a security bug, but if it is only present when
there are no MapDefinitions in the repo, I would say it has almost no
pratical relevance.
Still, something must be wrong if it happens, and should be fixed.

I figured out how to reproduce this problem. If you have no maps defined
or created yet and do the call below but use "TYPE=MapDefinition&" it
fails with default user Anonymous. Then it allows the user
"Administrator" with no password to do any OPERATION=ENUMERATERESOURCES.
You can also log into Studio using Administrator with any random
password as long as it is not blank. I find this to be a huge bug. Can
anyone else confirm this?



Original:
After pounding my head for 3 hours I figured out that that FCGI calls
where allowing the user name of Administrator with no password. Studio
was allowing me to log in to the site with the user name of
Administrator and any password since it doesn't allow blank passwords.
The strange thing is I can't log on to the Site Administrator PHP pages
with out the proper password through. Anyone else encounter this or have
any suggestions? I went into the Site Administrator and changed the
password for the Administrator user as well. The really strange thing
was the user Anonymous would not work as is should default out of the
box! It seemed every 3rd attempt with the Anonymous user would allow me
to get an XML list the others said bad user and password.

Example URL (replace localhost with computer/dns name):
http://localhost/mapguide/mapagent/mapagent.fcgi?OPERATION=ENUMERATERESO
URCES&VERSION=1.0.0&LOCALE=en&RESOURCEID=Library%3A%2F%2F&TYPE=&DEPTH=-1
&COMPUTECHILDREN=1&FORMAT=text%2Fxml&USERNAME=Administrator

Now I changed the password for the Administrator to something other than
"admin" and back for testing and everything works fine. I have no clue
what went wrong. I had a co-worker try the link above with "localhost"
replaced with my work group "computer name" and he was able to get right
in as explained above. Now after everything seems OK he cannot. So I am
not sure what caused this or what fixed this but watch out for this one.
