Rt: autogenerating password on first request

RT Users
1

Hi,

I’ve looked high and low and can’t seem to figure this one out.
I’d like to automatically generate a random password for all new accounts (that is to say all accounts generated automatically by the system).
When the account is created, the user will receive an e-mail with their password so they can login to their web account.

The case for this is as follows:

  • User creates first request via e-mail
  • User receives return email with username / password to manage their account online
  • User now has the option to submit requests via e-mail or the web interface

I’m already creating their account automatically, why not give them a password as well?
Any advice on this issue would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ty

You mean like this:

I admit I didn’t find it linked in the “Contrib” section of the wiki
(looking briefly), but searching for “password” will show it as the
first link…
