Trying to set up a new user via script, and as usual it isn't going smoothly. web2py 2.15.4, fronted by nginx
Using adduser script, which I think I got from this group (or maybe from a pointer Massimo provided): """ import gluon.tools auth = session.auth db = session.db new_user = auth.register_bare(email='[email protected]', password='4mark2easy') print (new_user) if new_user: new_user.update_record(registration_key='') # This approves the registration - can be done later db.commit() print (other_stuff_from_auth) This successfully adds a new user, but when the new user tries to login, more times than not the result is "invalid login". (The login form is the out-of-the-box one via default/user.) Sometimes, it works on the first try. Q1: Why does the login often fail? The script doesn't update an existing user; register_bare() and its underwiring check for newness (as in !IS_IN_DB()), so it doesn't work as a reset password tool. The reset-password-email technique doesn't work here, because not all of these users have valid email addresses. I can use port forwarding to use appadmin, but the server command line is easier in this setup. Q2: Is there an easy way to script resetting a user's password? Some of these accounts should only be used on a short-term basis. I can manually reset the password, or delete the user, but I'd like a failsafe mechanism in case I forget: Q3: Is there a way to automatically expire a password? I have a function with the @request.restful() decorator; it should require login as well. Q4: Can I use @auth.requires_login() with @request.restful() Thanks.
