Password options are missing at manage users form

Joe,I upgraded my site to 2.3.9.4 (SQL Server 2008 Exp) from 2.3.6.6. When I log in as administrator to my site and slect manage users I cannot enter or  reset password because I do not see those options on the screen.

The old version had those options.

Please suggest the solution, Thank you

Re: Password options are missing

As far as I know nothing has changed in that regard. The password box is shown on the manage users page unless using LDAP/Active directory for authentication since we cannot change passwords for those users.

The password textbox is visible for example on our demo site but please do not change the admin password on the demo site.

Re: Password options are missing

Joe,

I checked mp_Sites table. LDAP domain server entry is there and all the other options for the password are marked as false. Looks like the old site was using ldap/active directory. Now we have moved the site to Windows server 2008 and iis 7.5. windows security is not working as it used to in windows server 2003 iis 6.

I have

anonymous authentication enabled , form authetication enabled and windows authentication disabled.

in the mp_Sites table it is still ldap.

I have a workaround right now, but do you have a better suggestion.

Re: Password options are missing

LDAP Authentication is not the same thing as Windows Authentication. LDAP authentication in mojoPortal validates the user against an ldap or active directory server but still uses forms authentication. The user does use their windows username and password with ldap/ad but it is not the same thing as windows authentication. Windows authentication is generally only used on intranets and local networks.

If you want to continue using ldap authentication on your new server you need to get your new server talking to your ldap server. Probably only specific ip addresses are allowed to talk to your ldap or Active Directory machine(s) so you need to check with your ldap or network administrator to allow your new server to connect.

Otherwise you could switch to database authentication by setting useldap to false or 0 in mp_Sites, then recycle the app to clear the site settings cache. But you may have to recover the user's database password since it was not used with ldap and the user does not know what it is.

Hope that helps,

Joe
