[rt-users] Need to reset user password in web UI (initial log in trouble)

[Steven Platt]

Brendan,

We're running RT 3.4.2 (new servers = upgraded RT in the near future) on
Redhat 7.x so all I can say is that this patched fixed the problem when it
occurred on our system.

It's best to reply to the list with questions like this so that even if you
get an answer, everyone else can bask in the shared wisdom. In this case
it'll hopefully catch the attention of the RT gurus (which I'm definitely
not), especially Ruslan who originally provided the patch.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

Steve

Hi there,

Thanks for the reply. I tried the patch but I think that it is out of
date now, it doesn't find the files and when I do specify the file
(now in the share dir for example) the lines are not found.

Is there another option?

Regards,

Brendan
