Creating new sites and cant log in

Hi,

I had created the first site with clear text passwords. However due to the fact that I have added some more sites and have given others access to their site to edit their sites. So to prevent they can see my password I had changed the clear text to encrypted, however it does not change it for the other sites. But I see that as administrator you still can see the passwords...

 

Furthermore I now just created a new site and it put the admin password in clear text, while it should have been encrypted. So I had to copy the password from my other user account into the new admin user and was able to login.

So it looks like creation of new site in my case does not encrypt the default password admin and as such I cant login. I think it has to do with the fact that I have change the from clear text to encrypted, but somehow there is a setting that remembers to have it as clear text when new sites are created.

Re: Creating new sites and cant log in

Hi,

Thanks for letting me know. I was able to reproduce the problem here and have it fixed in my svn sandbox.

A workaround until the next release is to always create new sites using the clear text setting then after the site has been saved change it to encrypted and save again.

The problem is in the setup routine for new sites. In the previous code it was not checking the password format of the site and was always creating the admin user password as "admin" and since this couln't be decrypted it would fail login. If you change it to encrypted after the user is created it will encrypt his password.

Best Regards,

Joe
