Still problems with /SelfService/

RT Users

OK, now I know users get autocreated when they send a request to the
mailgate. Also, I know their uid is equal to their email-address (which we
will change to their email adress up to but not including the @, since the
rt mail gateway is not reachable by people outside our company network, thus
all ‘email names’ are unique).

I also found that the autocreated users’ password is set to NO_PASSWD in
the database, and since this is a crypted value, guessing the password is
really hard.

Which password do autocreated users use to login at /SelfService/ ? I tried
the obvious two (namely, ‘password’ and the uid created), but those don’t
work. Leaving the password field empty didn’t work, either.

Regards,
Harald

As of now, RT2 doesn’t automatically assign passwords to users on account
creation. Down the line, the plan is to assign random passwords and optionally
email them to the user. For now, you need to manually set them.
