RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-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.

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2276

When we will activate form based auth we need to allow for password changes through the same interface.

Not a critical feature for the first pass, but if that's the main interface for some users then password changes need to be supported.

Fixed upstream.

master: d1e695b5d0323167d37eee340718eb5e65138716

For command-line based tests the URI is /ipa/session/change_password

You need to do a POST and provide user, old_password and new_password.

The password result is passed both in the resulting HTML page, but also in HTTP headers for easier parsing in web services:
  X-IPA-Pwchange-Result: {ok, invalid-password, policy-error, error}
 (optional) X-IPA-Pwchange-Policy-Error: $policy_error_text

Web UI part implemented upstream. https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/2755
