I am having a weird issue that I can't figure out.
Recently my root password expired (didn't know it would do that) so I had to reset it to get into the Webconfig. Since then, I can log into most areas of the webconfig but not all. When I click on Dashboard, Accounts>Groups and Accounts>Users I get "Oops! Invalid Credentials. Clicking on anything else works as expected.
I am running ClearOS release 7.2.0 with Samba_Directory Beta and all system updates installed.

I'm still trying to figure out how to restore user/group functionality. I am now getting a different error that is baffling.
Ooops! Strong(er) authentication required
The only post that I can find that has a similar problem is
https://www.clearos.com/clearfoundation/social/community/user-updates-from-ldap-replicate-not-working
but that is from 2010 so I'm not sure it's the same problem.
I am completely stumped! -

Thanks for the link to the bug tracker.
I'm still having an issue trying to get back to where I was however. Per the webconfig access instructions, I've been logging in as user "root". This was the password I was instructed to change. However, I now cannot change the password back to the original. I've tried using
samba-tool user setpassword root
but I get an error about user not found. I've reset user "administrator" back to original but that doesn't regain the functionality either.
If I restore a configuration from before I reset the password, will that restore everything? Does the config backup store usernames and passwords? -

Here's the issue in the tracker, and there's a suggested command line workaround. However, there's not much movement on the Samba Directory app... not much traction. -

Dang. Tried setting it back but it didn't work. I wonder if I need to restart the server to make it take?
I changed the password through the user profile dialog. Would it have been better to drop down to the command line to do it?
Is there a bug filed for this that I can track?
Thanks for the help! -

Is there a way to bring it back or should I just restore a previous setup?
Is it normal for the root password to expire? I don't remember any password expiration settings but to be honest, I wasn't looking for them either.
If you set the Administrator back to the one used when you provisioned Samba Directory the first time, things should be back to normal. I don't think root/Administrator password can expire... Samba/Windows is a bit out of my league! -
