Hi, everyone. There’s a ticket and a commit from February, 2019 that tried to solve a problem with people logging in to disabled accounts by forbidding logins where passwords are disabled on the accounts:
- https://openedx.atlassian.net/browse/LEARNER-6183
- https://github.com/mitodl/edx-platform/commit/73f57457c05f16a2f51f850fe392208a010e1a77
Since we use Kerberos authentication, however, we have some legitimate accounts that have no passwords, resulting in spurious “Your account is disabled” errors. We solved this issue locally with a patch that basically reverses the commit above.
How should I follow up with this? Should I make a new ticket (if so, can you advise me on which tracker to use?), or does someone want to reopen the old ticket?
