Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Foreman Issue Tracker 28342 0 High New Invalidate Active Sessions when User Password Changed 2020-09-30 13:34:51 UTC

Description Karl Abbott 2018-11-16 20:37:30 UTC 
Description of problem:

When a user's password is changed, all active sessions/activity that a user has on the Satellite remain active. This causes a concern for when a user is terminated from their organization and needs to have their access revoked immediately. It should be possible to immediately stop all sessions/activity upon a password change.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

6.3.2

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a user login to the satellite and start doing things.
2. Have an admin change the users password.
3.

Actual results:

The user remains logged in and activity they have started remains active.

Expected results:

User is immediately logged out and their activity is stopped.

If you need to have user access revoked, you need to remove the user account. Changing password seems like some workaround. That would even be impossible for users with external auth source. Also that wouldn't invalidated API tokens that could still be used. Note that even after account deletion, all audits remains untouched if some later investigation of user activity is needed.

What prevents customer from simply removing the user account? Would that solve this case?
Comment 3 Karl Abbott 2019-01-10 15:33:04 UTC 
From customer:

"In this specific instance we don't want to have to remove the user. I still feel that the change of a password should invalidate active sessions. I don't find much from google in terms or best practice around this, but certainly one educational / beginners guide for rails and user management does just this."

Cheers,
Karl

Comment 6 Sean O'Keeffe 2020-09-30 13:41:04 UTC 
Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and while we recognize that it is a valid request, we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. This is due to other priorities for the product, and not a reflection on the request itself. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please do not reopen. Instead, feel free to contact Red Hat Technical Support.
Thank you
