Friends timeline fails in corporate installation where username and nickname differ

[Patrick L Archibald]

I have a statusnet installation at work with LDAP authentication. My username is htplainf. My nickname is pla.

Mustard is using the following path with the user name htplainf for the friends timeline. It does not work:

/api/statuses/friends_timeline.json?screen_name=htplainf&count=25

The following path using the nickname pla and does work:

/api/statuses/friends_timeline.json?screen_name=pla&count=25

You could also use this path:

/api/statuses/friends_timeline.json?user_id=3&count=25

Can you use the user id number in the last path example or do I need to file a bug with statusnet to allow the screen_name to accept username or nickname?

Thanks, PLA
