Hi

I have just found out from a member of our staff that one of our Mahara installs is allowing users creare an account without using a password, The user will type in abcd for example within the username field and leave the password blank. This in result creates a user 'abcd Mcauthentication'.

I have noticed in the institution settings the authentication methods include both 'none' and 'internal' but I am unable to remove 'none'.

Any ideas?

Hi Ali,

 What version of Mahara are you using?

On the latest development version, if you go to:

Site Administration

Manage Institutions

Institutions

(click Edit next to your institution)

 Then you can find a list of auth plugins which are active and there's a little clickable X next to them to remove them from the list.

 Cheers,

Francois

Hi Francois

Using v1.2.3

Ah! I forgot to mention within my first post that I tried your solution and came up with a message stating: We can't remove this auth plugin, as its being used by some users. You must update their records before you remove this plugin.

Thanks,

Ali
