Description

Zach Nelson reported there was an issue to activate his account:

hash string Kv9aZuLOdu$tO3 doesn't match our record.

but the account was activated:

river:conf tao$ ldapsearch -x -h ldap.ecoinformatics.org -b o=unaffiliated,dc=ecoinformatics,dc=org uid=zach-nelson
  1. extended LDIF #
  2. LDAPv3
  3. base <o=unaffiliated,dc=ecoinformatics,dc=org> with scope subtree
  4. filter: uid=zach-nelson
  5. requesting: ALL #

We need figure out why the hash string didn't match and why the account was activated even though the hash string didn't match.

"^x" is part of the hash string.

It seem user successfully activated his account:
Hi Jing,

I was able to activate by copying the url into my web browser. I am linked
to knb now and creating some data packages in morpho.

Thanks,
Zach

In the email we ask users to copy the url if he/she can't activate the account by click the link.

Maybe first time the user didn't copy the url fully?

I will close the bug.
