Bug in changing password in CMM

[sanfranservers]

Hi Jonathan,

We have found what we think is a bug in the CMM script that has to do with setting passwords.

To see this happen, try this recipe:

1. Use CMM to create an email account somewhere on a domain on the server.
2. Set the password to be: #p@tTy$!
3. Try to login to that accounts webmail and see if the password works.

On our servers it did not work for us. We have version cmm: v1.09 installed.

Then we deleted the email account and used the cPanel interface to create the same one over again with the same password as above and everything works fine.

We were thinking that it would be a reserved character issue with cPanel and actually put in a bug with them.

Can you take a look and see if you experience the same thing?

We love these scripts and appreciate you giving them to the community.

Thanks!

Jonathan,

I am not sure if this is related, but I thought I would report it here just in case.

We can create an email account with a secure password like this one: $uN$H!n3 using cPanel and the security passes our 70% standard.

Creating the same email account using the same password in CMM gives us a warning that says we do not meet the same 70% standard.

That would suggest a bug in the cPanel script. I'll check it out when I can.
