#141 Registration passwd with auto-password

15 years 2 months ago #83893 by mkampstra
I Confirm this problem.

Disabled password and required in field management.
And let CB make password.

People register, get email, confirm email, i get mail for approval action.

And frontpage (with workflow) i approve it.

User get mail with very long password which wont work.
something like:
03198841e67e21ce257a2e4d73de7f94:blG24HGHEpH2KGCaRRsYJSxgn1Mgvqqe
This looks like the original password field as in the Mysql database jos_users

In backend is see user is enabled but not yet approved.

CB1.2RC4 on J1.5.8 with Dutch language files.

Need more info??

Using the combination of settings will cause this undesired effect, because:

Passwords are not stored in plaintext. When you approve a user the "Welcome Email" is sent. In this email you've given the user their password. Problem? The password was not grabbed in plaintext, because it isn't possible without it being typed in plaintext and posted.

So to fix it. Give the user their password in the "Pending Approval Email". Then simply have your welcome email just that; a welcome email. Do NOT include their password in it or it -WILL- be hashed.

Now this is only with this combination of settings, but it's still recommended to give the users password to them ASAP.

Just because they have the password it does NOT mean they can login, because you still need to approve them.

This is a temporary workaround until the bug has been officially fixed!

Hi,

Well the funny thing is that the password only is scrambled on approve with the Frontend approval button. When approved in backend.. There is no problem. Why does it work in backend but not as it should be in frontend. My solution is to only approve in backend...

Greetings Merte

Because the backend is separate code from the frontend.

These bugs are now reproduced and confirmed here.

I just applied a fix proposal received and re-did full test of all the workflows with auto-generate password which are new in CB 1.2 and that showed quite some bugs poping up like reported above, and a few more.

All are now fixed for upcoming CB 1.2 Stable.

Moving to identified issues.

Thanks for your tests and detailed reports, this has been a good bugs-tread B)
