             Summary: create-administrator and skipping the email field
                 Key: DS-1530
                 URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1530
             Project: DSpace
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.1
         Environment: Ubuntu Server 12.04
            Reporter: Clint Bellanger


I installed a new DSpace server without much issue.

During the create-administrator step I made a mistake: I accidentally hit 
Enter-Enter past the admin email. I entered the other info correctly. The admin 
account was created successfully, just without an email address.

Once DSpace was up and running (using xmlui), I tried logging in as the admin 
with a blank email field and the admin password I entered -- I was logged in 
successfully. (Not sure if this is the behavior you want).

I attempted to go to my Profile page to correct the email address, but the 
profile page was throwing an error -- something about characters and XML, I 
assume because the email field was coming in empty. This is probably not 
expected behavior.

I was able to get around this by getting into psql directly as the dspace user 
and doing a simple update:

    update eperson set email='[email protected]' where eperson_id=1;

Now the login with the new email works, along with the Profile page.
