Am I blind, or is there no chance for a GUI user to change it's password?

  Hi,

  On the login page you should see a 'Forgot your password?'. If you click on that link then there you should see these instructions.
  
  ==
  To reset your password, please run the script password-reset.php located in
  /var/www/clustercontrol/app/tools/
  
  

  $ cd /var/www/clustercontrol/app/tools/
  $ php -e password-reset.php

  
  Best Regards,

  Alex

  OK - Many thanks for your quick answer!

  So, one can only change his password via the "lost password" process and there's no button like "change my password" in the application.

  That should be OK - I'll communicate this to the users.

  Best regards,
  Daniel

  Hi,

  Sorry, I misunderstood about wanting to change it vs loosing it.

  If the User wants to change his/her password then depending on the ACL settings the user might be able to go into the 'User Management' page and then change it there.

  Unfortunately, there is currently not a very good straightforward way to change your password otherwise in the application.

  As an Admin user, you are though able to change the password for other users.
  
  We'll look at improving 'changing password' since it's obviously too hard to do that at any time.

  Best Regards,

  Alex
