The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Silvers, Tim" <address@concealed>]

The User Preferences documentation states there is a means to change the local login password under ‘My preferences’ that we don’t see. I looked at edit_list.conf but I don’t see an option that seems to match. I thought it might be ‘account’ but changing it from ‘hidden’ had no effect.

Racke,

 

We provide SSO/LDAP for our university users and a local login option for others. Sympa then saves these local logins (email address, password, last login date, etc.) in the database. So, they use the ‘First Login?’ option to create a password with Sympa. A link is mailed to them and they click it to provide a password for their email address. However, as I mentioned, I don’t see a means for a user to change it; nothing under the ‘My preferences’ menu or elsewhere and nothing mentioned in the Sympa online documentation. So, I’d like to know if I’m missing it or is the ‘Lost password?’ option a user would choose to reset a local password?

 

 

Thanks,

 

Tim

Hi. We are running version 6.2.60 and there doesn’t appear to be an option for users logging in locally to change their

passwords. There isn’t an option under ‘My preferences’ and I don’t see anything in the FAQs or Documentation regarding

changing passwords for local logins. Is the only alternative to select ‘Lost password?’ and choose a new one?

 

 

 

Hello Tim,

 

what do you mean with "local logins"? How did your configure the web authentication for your Sympa instance?

 

Regards

Thanks,
