-------------------------------------
Yes. We have trouble pinpointing the failing scenario as well.
I got another instance today. I think this is what I did.
# Browser was on the blog page.
# Session timed out.
# Clicked the create button.
# Browser took me to the login.
# Navigated back to the blog page.
# Clicked the create button and got the edit page.
# Realized that I needed text from my last entry before I was ready to edit.
# Clicked cancel and browser back to return to the blog page.
# Used the Permalink to go to my last blog.
# Clicked Edit to get the edit page.
# Press Ctrl-A followed by Ctrl-C to copy the markup to the clipboard.
# Clicked cancel.
# Clicked return to the blog link.
# Clicked the create button to get the edit page.
# Pressed Ctrl-V to load the edit window from the clipboard.
# Edited the entry and clicked Save. Noticed that the page was attributed to
me as expected.
# Clicked the link to return to the blog. BAM! The entry is attributed to
unknown.

# JSPWiki page properties for Sprint3_blogentry_100316_2. DO NOT MODIFY!

I hope I remembered correctly but I am sure that I did not re-edit an existing
entry.
So I am willing to believe that the expiring session is a red herring. Perhaps
it's all about creating an entry, cancelling without saving, creating another
entry.

> Key: JSPWIKI-931
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-931
> Project: JSPWiki
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.10.1
> Environment: AWS Linux, Tomcat 8.0.23, Java JDK 1.8.0_45
> Reporter: Lance Bader
> Attachments: EntryWithByUnkown.png, PermalinkShowsWho.png,
> jspwiki.policy
>
>
> Even though the wiki is configured so that only authenticated users and edit
> or even view pages in the JSPWiki, the WeblogEntryPlugin creates entries
> where the by line reads _By unknown_. 7 out of 21 entries are shown this
> way. If you follow the entry's Permalink, the entry will show _This page was
> last changed on 29-Feb-2016 18:44 by ..._ with the correct user name.
> I have not been able to pinpoint the scenario that exposes this defect, but I
> suspect it occurs when the user's Tomcat session expires, the create entry
> link is clicked, and then they are forced to log in again. However, there is
> reason to believe that it occurs if the user has ever been forced to log in
> after their session expires, even on some unrelated page.
