Franck T.	Wednesday 28 July 2004 1:06:23 am Hi all. Whenever I create a new user and set a password for him, the system automatically generate a new password !! I'd like to know why, and how to prevent this, please. ez version 3.4
Ekkehard Dörre	Wednesday 28 July 2004 3:50:50 am Hi, go into site.ini search for [UserSettings] # If true it will automatically generate a password if it is empty # and email it to the user. GeneratePasswordIfEmpty=true and set it to [UserSettings] # If true it will automatically generate a password if it is empty # and email it to the user. GeneratePasswordIfEmpty=false Greetings, ekke http://www.coolscreen.de - Over 40 years of certified eZ Publish know-how: http://www.cjw-network.com CJW Newsletter: http://projects.ez.no/cjw_newsletter - http://cjw-network.com/en/ez-publ...w-newsletter-multi-channel-marketing
Franck T.	Wednesday 28 July 2004 4:32:16 am I've tried to modify the site.ini file through the admin interface (Setup tab -> inisettings) but it doesn't take effect at all. I'm now going to edit it manually (even it's not recommended). Hope it'll work.
Frederik Holljen	Wednesday 28 July 2004 5:16:52 am It's not recommended to edit site.ini itself. The preferred way is to edit the override file, in your case override/site.ini.append(.php). Simply set the setting to the value you prefer in that file.
Franck T.	Wednesday 28 July 2004 6:47:11 am Can anyone explain to me what does the line "GeneratePasswordLength=6" mean ?
Eivind Marienborg	Wednesday 28 July 2004 6:56:54 am I believe it to be the length of the created password. 6 characters, that is.
Mikhail Chekanov	Monday 24 January 2005 7:28:22 am When <b>GeneratePasswordIfEmpty</b> is set to <i>true</i> the system send an additional e-mail to user with automatically generated password even a password field was filled correctly. If the setting set to <i>false</i> the system allow empty passwords. Is it correct behaviour? I need the system neither generate password when appropriate field is filled nor allow empty passwords. This should be a correct procedure, isn't it? Or I've broken something myself? eZ Publish version is 3.5.0 -- mike #6595551
