Description Zack Miele 2023-06-06 20:19:56 UTC
It may be possible for a deactivated user to login when using uncommon configurations.

This only applies if any of the following are true:

JSON Web Tokens are enabled for login via the jwt_config.enabled configuration setting
The local password database is enabled via the password_config.enabled and password_config.localdb_enabled configuration settings and a user's password is updated via an admin API after a user is deactivated.
Note that the local password database is enabled by default, but it is uncommon to set a user's password after they've been deactivated.

Installations that are configured to only allow login via Single Sign-On (SSO) via CAS, SAML or OpenID Connect (OIDC); or via an external password provider (e.g. LDAP) are not affected.
