Admin unable to reset password

[rinon]

It seems that the admin "Reset passwords" functionality is broken. A user can reset their own password, but trying to do a reset in the admin interface has no effect (no password change, no email). I have tried this is both the 0.11 branch and the current SVN (r11448). Debug log does not appear to show any useful AccountManager specific information.

Upon further investigation, it appears this is confined to resetting the password of a user who has never loggen in.

I have confirmed this by manually inserting a row into the session table. It seems that if the user has never logged in, there will be no row in session, and reset will not work. I suggest that the admin interface for adding users also inserts a row into the session table, or the reset works without a row in the session table for the user.

I think that is what is being discussed in #9252. See also #9942.

Replying to rjollos:

Very similar, but my db did not even include a row in session for users before their first log in. It appears that #9252 has a row, but authenticated = 0.

This issue is closely related to #9843.

Do you see it fixed with latest trunk code too? Feedback would be much appreciated.

Availability of that code as stable release closes #874, #3459, #4677, #5295, #5691, #6616, #7577, #8076, #8685, #8770, #8791, #8990, #9052, #9079, #9090, #9139, #9246, #9252, #9547, #9618, #9676, #9843, #9852, #9940, #10023, #10028, #10123, #10142, #10204, #10276, #10397, #10412, #10594, #10625 and #10644.

Some more issues have been worked-on, yet without confirmed resolution, refs #5464 (for JiraToTracIntegration), #8927 and #10134.

And finally there are some issues and enhancement requests showing progress, but known to require more work to resolve them satisfactorily, refs #843, #1600, #5964, #8217, #8933.

Thanks to all contributors and followers, that enabled and encouraged a good portion of this development work.
