Description

« Hide

Currently to change Admin password, you have to do two things:
1. ldapmodify
2. change conf/server.xml

See: http://docs.safehaus.org/display/PENROSE10/Configuration (bottom page)

This is because of the limitation of Apache DS. http://directory.apache.org/subprojects/apacheds/docs/users/authentication.html

We'd like to simplify this process so that it can be easily change through remote management without going through two-steps process.

While using Penrose Studio 1.0RC5, I noticed that the admin password change displays the password as plaintext. Shouldn't all password fields only display marker characters like the classic '******'? Also, is ~~PENROSE-142~~ supposed to be resolved already? The Admin password change seems like it worked.

OK, so I admit that I hadn't restarted the server and gotten an authentication failure because I hadn't done the aforementioned 'ldapmodify'.
