This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
I received the email with my new account credentials, clicked on the link in the email <https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=www&component=Admin>, then logged in with my username and new password. While the email states "You will be asked to change your password when you login for the first time", I was not asked for a new password.
You should be able to change your password in Edit profile, see http://netbeans.org/projects/help/pages/ProfileSettings#Password_Tab If you are able to change the password, please close this issue.
This issue is not about whether I am able to change my password. It is that I am not required to change my password even though your email states otherwise. That is actually a security issue because the initial password was sent out over an insecure medium.
Thanks ritzmann, it looks some users are not adviced to change their password after first login. I have 3 testing accounts and for all of them I was advised to change password. Would you be so kind and try to regenerate new password by clicking forgot password in log in page? If you are not advised to change new regenerated password, please let us know. Otherwise I would also prefer close this issue. thanks, Michal
This is the scenario on how I was NOT asked for a password: Since I knew that I'd be asked to log in for bug submission, I clicked "submit a bug", and was taken to this page: https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/index.cgi?GoAheadAndLogIn=1 After I entered username and new account (temporary) password, it took me to this page without asking to change my password: https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi So I logged out, then I looked around for a while and found the Login link which took me to this page: https://netbeans.org/people/login Once I entered my username and temporary password, then I was prompted to reset my password. Hope this is helpful/Mary
Just to be completely accurate, I clicked on the "Enter a new issue" link on this page: http://netbeans.org/community/issues.html There are other ways to get to this bugzilla login page, such as the "Log in" link at the top of any bugzilla show_bug.cgi page.
I was also not forced to change my new temporary password either (though I have done so at my own initiative).
Since Lea doesn't work for Oracle or on Kenai anymore, we might want to reassign this to an actual person that can and might do something to resolve the problem... I do not know who that person would be... If I did, these issues would be assigned to them when I committed this comment.
reassign to default owner ... marco, I think this is still valid issue ... feel free to close if not, thanks in advance.
BZ now forwards all login's to /people/login which in turn asks the user to change the password. So that should be fixed.
