Werk #5944: Fixed broken HTTP header auth for not yet existing users

Component User interface
Title Fixed broken HTTP header auth for not yet existing users
Date Apr 4, 2018
Checkmk Edition Checkmk Raw (CRE)
Checkmk Version 1.5.0b1
Level Trivial Change
Class Bug Fix
Compatibility Compatible - no manual interaction needed

This was broken since ~1.5.0i3. When a user which has not been created in Check_MK before is being authenticated using the optional HTTP header authentication and logged in using the "default user profile", some host- and service views were not working as expected. They were showing some exception like KeyError: u'<USER>'.

A workaround in the affected versions is to create the user accounts before the user try to access the GUI.
