EA cloud 12.1 passwords do not work

[JayHollingsworth]

I just realized I posted this in the general forum when it belongs here.

We have been using EA 11 in the cloud for while and it has been more or less working OK. We have upgraded some of our users to EA 12.1, so we have a mixed environment, if that's important.

Yesterday I created a new cloud database and transferred a project up there and it all looks OK.

I enabled security and created a couple of users and they look to be ok.

But, there isn't any way to give anyone a password. If I login as admin and change someone's password (using Project Security->Security->Manage Users) to something other than null that username can no longer login. If I go back into Manage Users and change the password for that user back to null, they can login again with a null password.

If the user is not an administrator but has the Change password rights they can use their null password and go into the Project Security->Security->Change Password dialog and give themselves a password.

If the user is an administrator they can log in with their null password but if they change it to something other than null (in either Project Security->Security->Change Password or Project Security->Security->Manage Users) they cannot log in with that password and they're stuck. Admin has to delete the user and re-create it with another null password.

Interestingly, admin itself can only use the Project Security->Security->Change Password dialog but not the Project Security->Security->Manage Users dialog to change its own password.

Basically I can't roll out this cloud database to our user community with all the Administrator passwords (except admin) set to null.


I'm not so impressed with 12.1 at this point.

You should report that as bug. That cloud stuff is rather new.

P.S. please do not post twice. Thanks.
