[rt-users] help! users (root or otherwise) can't change their passwords, two different RT installs (4.2.4 4.2.6)

2014-08-16 Thread Al Joslin

I've an odd situation here, and I'm sure I've missed something very basic...

I've installed RT twice now, once over Ubuntu and again over CentOS, and root 
can add users but not change his (Enoch's) password

None of the users, all granted the ModifySelf option, can change their 
passwords either

Everyone gets to enter their current and new (twice) password, and the 
confirmatory message is displayed: AuthToken changed from 'hash1' to 
'hash2'  but their old password is the only on they can login with

Enoch can create users, and has created a whole structure of queues,users, 
groups, catalogs, scrips, etc...

All the users have created and edited Tickets and Assets and other Person 
Profile fields...

But no one can change their password...

(just noticed: if I put my cursor in any Profile field, as any user, and hit 
return without entering anything -- I get the AuthToken changed message)

Help!!

The Ubuntu installation

when logged in as root I can change other users' passwords 

and the confirmation message says: password changed

Still, when trying to change my own password -- it will not change (and the 
message says Auth Token Changed)

confounding...
