possible to remove "change password" for LDAP users ?

[Jason B]

Hello, as a RhodeCode admin user changing other users account (Admin >> Users >> Edit "someuser") or as a user editing their own information (My Account) - there are fields there for New password and New password confirmation: - is it possible to remove these for LDAP accounts? 

If a user tries to fill them in, it just goes to an error page.

If an admin tries for another account, it says it was successful, although it doesn't actually change the LDAP password (nor should it).

RhodeCode 1.3.6 installed via easy_install on Fedora 15.

LDAP authentication to a Windows AD.

(sorry if this has been asked before - I searched this group and the web and didn't find a similar Q).

thanks!

Hi,

Yes that makes sense, the passwords fields should be just hidden if ldap_dn is present. Those have really no affect then, and it might be confusing. We'll remove them in next release.

Marcin,

  Thanks for the quick reply - good to hear about the LDAP passwords.

I'm relatively new to Hg, and glad to find RhodeCode.  Excellent functionality, and well-structured.  Very impressive for 1 programmers' effort!

non-technical Questions:

• how do you pronounce Marcin ?
• where did the name Rhode come from in the project title?

Hi,

Story behind the name: RhodeCode is shorter for RhodiumCode Rhodium is a extreamly expensive metal, you can say `Your precious code` :)

Ps. it's hard to describe in email how to pronounce Marcin. I guess you can google it somewhere.

Cheers

Marcin,

  cool name for it - keeping it on the periodic table.

I found this - http://www.forvo.com/word/marcin/

If the audio clip from that site is correct, I would describe it as "Like Martin, but with a "ch" instead of T, and roll the R".
