Thread:Project:Support desk/Create users by the admin did not work

Hi, When creating a rather restricted Wiki (MediaWiki 1.25.1), I set:

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false;

Then I created the users (Create Acccount) as admin and I did set "Use a temporary random password and send it to the specified email address". The users all got a mail with their username and a temporary passwort. But login with the temporary password did not work.

Do I have to do additional steps to 'enable' the users?

In the database there is no (hashed) password for the new users: select user_password from user where user_name='USERNAME'; returns an empty field. Shouldn't that contain the hashed (temporary) password?

Best regards
