Summary: Unable to change password

Initial Comment:
When a user changes his/her password the resulting 

screen shows "Password Updated". 



This is a very misleading text! In fact, the password has 

NOT been updated, AND even worse, the "Allow login" 

property is in addition set to false!



The result is that the user which is trying to change his 

password is locked out of the system! 



The workaround to this is to have a user with sysadmin 

privileges change it. The sysadm "Change password" 

DOES work, luckily...



I have even tried to deliberately enter different 

passwords for the password and where it is to be 

retyped, hoping that OPT would recognize the problem 

and show a warning. But to no prevail. It still claims that 

the password has been updated.



I have observed the error on three different accounts 

on two different OPT setups. One running 1.0.4, and 

another one running 1.1.0.



Hope this qualifies for an "immediate fix"...
