New users - password problems

Anybody else experiencing problems when they add new users to RT and include
their “password” that it does not save the password in the db?

Basically one has to create the user, hit the “save changes” button, and
then enter their password, and hit the same “save changes” button and then
it will work correctly.

This is using rt 3.4.2 on Fedora Core 3 and using Firefox 1.0.4 for the
browser.

I’m experiencing the same problem… we’re not adding many new users so have
just been re-entering passwords where necessary
… Not a show-stopper of a bug, but a bug none the less.

RT 3.4.2, Redhat7.2, Internet Explorer 6.x

Yep, me too.
I blamed it on my test instance which contains a lot of different
patches and blamed it on that. In our production RT3 (3.4.2) don’t get
users added that often so I haven’t seen it there.

him it was an RT problem.

Yeah, we’re seeing that too. I thought I was just screwing up the
creation of the user somehow. Now I know I need set the password twice.

Yeah, been seeing that under 3.4.2/debian/apache2 mod-perl + fcgi so it
looks like its a template/function issue. Maybe it doesn’t like setting
the password of a user that doesn’t exist - yet :wink:

I can replicate it. It’s a result of a “simplifcation” of how the user
creation works. Should only be a few minutes to fix.
