Unable to establish session password. #51

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Set up user with proper attribute/value pairs to allow a password change via 
"Activate User".
2. Try and change user's password via "Activate User".
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect to be able to change the password.  PWM throws the following 
error "Unable to establish session password."

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
PWM v1.5.2 b996 on RHEL 5.4

Please provide any additional information below.
I've attached a sanitized snippet of the catalina.out and the dstrace file that 
shows the said event.  In the catalina log there is a trace event stating that 
the password has been retrieved from the directory, and there are no errors on 
the corresponding dstrace (ldap, nmas, auth) file.  Not sure where to go from 
here.

Does the user account have loginDisabled=TRUE ?  If so, the login ldap compare 
based authentication will fail.

So if I set "Always use proxy" to false, this should work?

I'm not sure...  I don't think so.  You can test..   Typically in this scenario 
users are created with a random password and then let them activate by setting 
the password.  If you let loginDisabled=true activate you'll have to guard 
somehow against users disabled for other reasons from being able to regain 
access to their account.

For future updates - I've added more debug traces to make it clear if this what 
is happening.
