When you set this program up be sure you look in
users.properties

and change
password:required=0

to
password:required=1

What this does is make sure, when you add a user later on that the password field is filled in, if you do not change that password:required, it will omly check that you filled in the username and name fields, why calendarscript comes with this DISABLED BY DEFAULT in users.properties is a mystery, since there is no way to change that in the Admin section,, makes one think what else needs finding, and if I never mentioned anything most wouldn't even know about it. NOW if your using the AutoRegister plugin this can wreck havoc.

Be safe enable it

** NOW if your using the AutoRegister plugin this can wreck havoc. **

How could that be? YOU (or whomever you've given administration permissions to) sets what permissions autoregistered users get. Only if you gave new users carte blanche to do whatever they want within the calendar could they affect much. Otherwise all they can do is whatever you've given them permission to do... the same as if they had registered using a password. So what's the difference?

While it wouldn't hurt anything to make the suggested change, I doubt anyone would be affected by it if they didn't.

Why in the world would this setting be set to off as default?

It just goes to show how little you care about security
what purpose in the world is there to leave that off?
COME ON I know we do not get along but you must AGREE

You'd have to ask the script author, which is not me.

No. This forum version doesn't support stickies.
