Hi Damien,

Your passwords should actually have changed. Passwords are now stored as fingerprints.
So the question is: did you run the "sympa.pl --md5_encode_password" command? Normally, you should have been reminded to do it when completing the "make install". If not, then it is abnormal.

Before doing so, please note the this operation is not reversible, so backup your database before.

Regards,

David

Dear,

 

I’ve upgraded sympa from 5.4.3 to 6.15 on another server (Ubuntu 10.04) following this procedure: http://www.sympa.org/manual/upgrading

 

Everything went fine (no error during the upgrade process) but I cannot authenticate on the web GUI. In the log, I’ve the following error message:

 

Jul 14 10:23:45 oracle2 wwsympa[11032]: err Auth::authentication() authentication: incorrect password for user

 

It goes for all users I’ve tested.

 

Any attempt to reset the password (lost password procedure) looks ok on screen (check you inbox it says) but nothing happens. I trust email config is ok because I receive warnings from sympa when I restart the daemon.

 

I compared the password hash from the users in user_table and they are identical both on the new and the old server. The ‘old’ server runs perfectly well.

 

I don’t know what else I could do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Damien
