This is actually expected behaviour - users can't set a login password in Beaker if they're being authenticated against an LDAP server.

However, displaying the password field and then objecting if the user tries to enter a value is admittedly confusing.

If the status of a user as LDAP-derived or not was cached locally, then it would be possible to simply hide or disable the password field (with an appropriate message) for affected users.

Comment 3 Nick Coghlan 2013-10-22 07:15:47 UTC

At some point before 1.0, we should ensure we hide or disable the Beaker password field for LDAP logins.

Comment 5 Dan Callaghan 2016-05-16 02:59:29 UTC

This is implemented in Beaker 23, as part of the Preferences page re-implementation.

Note that the password changing field is now moved to the user page (in the menu it's Hello -> My Account). Actually it was always there *too*, but now we have removed it from the Preferences page in favour of the user page.

In Beaker 23 if a user's account came from LDAP then the "change password" form is not offered on the My Account page.

Comment 7 Dan Callaghan 2016-07-07 23:10:54 UTC

Beaker 23.0 has been released.
