Description
⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️
- This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
- This issue is not already reported on Github OR Nextcloud Community Forum (I've searched it).
- Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.
- I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.
Bug description
The same problem existed when inviting the same user in a Talk conversation. I solved that via
ALTER TABLE oc_comments ALTER COLUMN actor_id TYPE character varying(100);
but file sharing checks the userid against a constant MAX_USERID_LENGTH
with value of 64, which is ridiculous.
AFAIK this change got introduced in April with commits 1ada991 and c34a5d2. Before that it would produce a db error, which would be solvable with a simple ALTER table
as I did above for the oc_comments
table.
Related to #52496
Related to #37612
Steps to reproduce
- Create 2 NC instances
- On instance 1 create a user with a long userid, which makes his federated cloud id (userid@domain) longer than 64 characters.
- Add each server as a trusted server in
/settings/admin/sharing
- In instance 2 share a file externally to the user with the long federated id of instance 1
Expected behavior
It should work...
