About Passwords in RTC

Hi,

I am logged as Admin and I am trying to change a user password in Admin>>User Management but change password button is disabled.

Middleware is Tomcat.

Any hints?

How is your user registry managed? If it's in tomcat-users.xml, you'll need to
modify your password there. If it's in an LDAP-managed registry, you'll need to
modify it there.

You can't change the password but you can reset the password of other users in the system.

tomcat-users.xml seems to have passwords encripted, not with plain text...??

Why?
I want to change my password because I don't remember password like "YAFNP8oa"

Use RTC client to login JAZZ, you can update your user profile and change your password.

I'm very confused about managing passwords and users

How to:
Delete Users?
Change Passwords or
Reset the password of other users in the system?

I'm using RTC 1.0.1

Tks
:roll:

Delete users - as far as i know users can only be archived and not deleted.
Change passwords - you can only change your own password and you will need to use the rich client (not the web ui). Once you have a working connection, right-click on it and select "open my user editor". There is a button under the email fields that states "Change password..."

Change other passwords - only if you have jazz admin permissions. right-click on the user and open their details. you will see that the change password button present in the step above is now stating "reset password". this will trigger an automatic change and email it to the user. The user will then be able to change the password after logging in using the generated one.

The steps above only assumes you are using the tomcat facility for user maintenance. The LDAP-enabled repository I am using has the change password button disabled and we change our password using our LDAP facility.

ciao!
