Okay. That seems reasonable. But it brings up a second question: Is it supposed to work?
I turned on encrytption, then clicked on "update passwords". I was then completely unable to sign on with any of those accounts. I had to create the emergency user, turn off encryption, and change the user passwords to force them to store as clear text again.
I've done this on two different servers so far with identical results (both 2.5.1). Does anyone have this turned on and working?
Yes, I have, with the same caveat. Funnily the starting message of this thread alerted me to this option in 2.5 (before I used 2.3.3). Did the same thing as you, "update passwords", and was immediatly logged out (403). Had also to resort to emergency user. Anyway, I deleted the accounts and recreated them, now it apparently works with encryption. Maybe it doesn't work when a user which is defined in this same folder starts the password updating process. cheers, oliver
