I was trying to signup for a developer account. Details I entered are as follows username: anubhav email: anubhav914@gmail.com Instance shell account: anubhav It shows me error that There was either an authentication database error or you are not allowed to update your external account
Hello! It looks to me like you already have an account, which would explain why you can't create a new one: dn: uid=anubhav,ou=people,dc=wikimedia,dc=org displayName: Anubhav uid: anubhav objectClass: person objectClass: organizationalPerson objectClass: inetorgperson objectClass: ldappublickey objectClass: shadowaccount objectClass: posixaccount objectClass: top loginShell: /usr/local/bin/sillyshell uidNumber: 2898 gidNumber: 500 sn: Aubhav iitr homeDirectory: /home/anubhav mail: anubhav914@gmail.com cn: Aubhav iitr So probably you can go ahead and reset your password and log in. Let me know if you have any trouble. -Andrew

Have you logged into gerrit and uploaded your ssh key?
