The User Preferences documentation states there is a means to change the local login password under ‘My preferences’

‘account’ but changing it from ‘hidden’ had no effect.**

Hello Tim,

 

how does your auth.conf looks like (with private / sensitive information redacted ?

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,
