Changing password in database about open-web-analytics HOT 14 CLOSED

I'm having the same issue.

from open-web-analytics.

This really needs to be a CLI command. marking for enhancement.

I am having the same problem , Any resolution yet?

from open-web-analytics.

Is there a way to somehow change the SMTP server? I'm getting the same issue. OWA doesn't seem to be able to send any form of email.

from open-web-analytics.

Just checking, has this issue been resolved yet? Still having issues with resetting passwords on version 1.5.7.

What exactly is the issue? Is your server not configured to send mail?

from open-web-analytics.

No, the server is not configured to send email. We have had turnover within out project and the Admin password needs changed. Is it a requirement to have send mail installed on the server to change the Admin password?

from open-web-analytics.

Same issue here. No email on server, and no way to add additional users without it. Would it be possible for admin to add/change passwords? Or maybe add SMTP credentials to Settings?

I also had this issue.

At the time of writing, the password hash is calculated as md5(strtolower($password).strlen($password)); (reference). This is very insecure, I'll open an issue about that so it might change in the future.

Same issue - no SMTP setup.

from open-web-analytics.

changed /includes/PHPMailer_5.2.0/class.phpmailer.php - set values for
public $From
public $FromName
public $Sender
public $Subject
public $Port (is not standard 25 for our server)
public $SMTPSecure (set tls for our server)
public $SMTPAuth (set true as our server requests auth)
public $Username
public $Password
...and yes, we know, it´s not safe/updatesafe, but now we get mails...

from open-web-analytics.

The changes to mailer have landed in master but I'm going to keep the open as a reminder that we need a CLI command to change passwords.

Anyone want to take a crack at this? Just look at one of the cli class like owa_buildController for an example.

@padams issue can be closed, fix is contained in master and 1.6.6 release

THANK YOU, with this one function alone I was able to somewhat reset the password for a user. I know I'm on an old version (1.6.4, I think) but having to send an E-Mail to reset a password for a user as the only option was really shortsighted.

Anyways thanks for this detail, I'll work towards updating my OWA and hopefully the recovery of passwords will be better in that.
