Unable to create an user (no password field)

[dhl]

Hey,

I have a problem with creating a new user. The main thing is there is no password field.
Authentication is set to LDAP, so this might be the cause of the problem, but I need to add some internal users.
Zabbix is version 2.2.2. Postgre database is used.

Error details are as following:

"pg_query() [<a href='function.pg-query'>function.pg-query</a>]: Query failed: ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "users_pkey"

LDAP is what is preventing the password boxes from being set.

You need to create a user group with with the 'Frontend access' set to 'internal auth'

Then for the users you want internal (say an admin backdoor account for if LDAP is down), you create the user as a normal LDAP user, assign it to your Internal Auth group.

Then after the user is created, you should be able to set/change the password through the user's page.

Had a problem with database indexes. It's working now, though still we need to create user, add it to internal login users group and then edit user to give it a password.

Asked Zabbix support for their opinion to make it clearer, as LDAP users really do not need to create internal password, but at the moment it needs double editing for internal users (first to create user and then edit the user to add a password).
