Description Malgorzata Janczarska CLA 2011-06-28 09:06:37 EDT
Bug 347052 solved similar issue but not in every configuration. In general we don't have administrators in Orion. Bug 347052 used a list of users allowed to create users as administrators, but there are some configurations were everyone can create users. We should rather add an API that allows users with rights to /users servlet change every password. This API id required to fix bug 347066.

done.

API is POST /users reset=true, login=<login>, password = <password>
