Password Length isse

giellemme · September 28, 2018, 6:02pm

I cannot login to OMP 3.1.1.4 but I cannot login to admin or to reset password. The system states that the password length must be at least 127 characters. I cannot even set a password via phpmyadmin. What can I do?

Hi @giellemme

In case you have access to your MySQL CLI you may run a SQL statement to reset your password:

UPDATE users SET password=SHA1(CONCAT(username,'newPasswordHere')) WHERE username='usernameHere';

Just check if you are using SHA1 or MD5 in your config.inc.php file.

Tried it. Not working.

Hi there. Any clue on How do I set a minimum / maximum password length in OMP 3.1.4 ?

The minimum password length field appears on the site settings form:

github.com

pkp/omp/blob/f59681c4aef5ab08a5bdbde64f22f5a9f2a17eb9/templates/controllers/tab/settings/siteSetup/form/siteSetupForm.tpl#L58-L61


	{fbvFormArea id="security"}
		{fbvFormSection title="admin.settings.minPasswordLength" required=true}
			{fbvElement type="text" id="minPasswordLength" value=$minPasswordLength size=$fbvStyles.size.MEDIUM required=true}
		{/fbvFormSection}

Presumably the corresponding database value would be in the site_settings table, with a setting_name of “minPasswordLength”.

Presumably? There is no such key in the table site_settings…Damn.

giellemme · November 9, 2018, 6:03pm

But…where is this site settings form in the admin panel?

I don’t have a install of OMP 3.1.1-4 to reference, so I’m just basing my comments on the code itself.

It appears the siteSetupForm is a tab alongside the languages, plugins, and navigation menu:

github.com

pkp/omp/blob/b7401c9e729ee24a5a9a266155aa811847955f77/templates/admin/settings.tpl#L23


{/strip}

<script type="text/javascript">
	// Attach the JS file tab handler.
	$(function() {ldelim}
		$('#settingsTabs').pkpHandler('$.pkp.controllers.TabHandler');
	{rdelim});
</script>
<div id="settingsTabs" class="pkp_controllers_tab">
	<ul>
		<li><a href="{url router=$smarty.const.ROUTE_COMPONENT component="tab.settings.AdminSettingsTabHandler" op="showTab" tab="siteSetup"}">{translate key="admin.siteSetup"}</a></li>
		<li><a href="{url router=$smarty.const.ROUTE_COMPONENT component="tab.settings.AdminSettingsTabHandler" op="showTab" tab="languages"}">{translate key="common.languages"}</a></li>
		<li><a href="{url router=$smarty.const.ROUTE_COMPONENT component="tab.settings.AdminSettingsTabHandler" op="showTab" tab="plugins"}">{translate key="common.plugins"}</a></li>
		<li><a href="{url router=$smarty.const.ROUTE_COMPONENT component="tab.settings.AdminSettingsTabHandler" op="showTab" tab="navigationMenus"}">{translate key="manager.navigationMenus"}</a></li>
	</ul>
</div>

{include file="common/footer.tpl"}

In OJS, I think the equivalent would be Admin → Administration → Site Settings, but this might also depend on whether you have multiple presses enabled or just a single press enabled. In OJS if you have only one journal enabled, this “Site Settings” link is hidden.
