[10:23:37] [[Tech]]; Matěj Suchánek; /* GAG Wikipedia */ Reply; https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?diff=23066785&oldid=23052511&rcid=23198873 [21:03:38] I think I've asked this question before but not sure whether I got a response so I'm bringing it up again. I would like to change my Gerrit password as the current one has been compromised per my password manager. [21:03:48] Any help on this please? Thanks! [21:04:34] xSavitar: Change it on wikitech [21:05:05] Unless you mean the Gerrit HTTP password... [21:06:38] I recently just changed my Wikitech password but seems it doesn't apply for Gerrit so not sure if I'm to do something special on the Wikitech side? [21:11:09] It should be the same password, as they're both LDAP backed [21:11:12] is it changed at wikitech sie? [21:11:14] *side [21:11:38] I think both use the same LDAP, so unless the password change didn't get through... [21:20:33] Reedy, that's what I thought but turns out it's not the same. [21:20:59] Platonides, I changed the wikitech.wikimedia.org password but gerrit.wikimedia.org doesn't change [21:21:28] I was thinking changing Wikitech will change both Phab & Gerrit but seems I'm missing something? [21:24:39] are you using the same account on both, I remember someone in the past had two very similar accounts in the past that didn't realise it [21:24:50] Reedy: could it be cached? [21:26:07] p858snake There has actually been an attempt to rename but didn't go through [21:27:17] xSavitar: what's your username? [21:27:45] I'm not seeing a xSavitar in LDAP [21:28:24] xSavitar: What about via https://toolsadmin.wikimedia.org/profile/settings/accounts/ ? [21:30:32] Platonides: IIRC, it's some variant of his name [21:30:39] https://ldap.toolforge.org/user/derick [21:30:54] Platonides, on Gerrit, it's d3r1ck01 and on Wikitech, it's Alangi_Derick [21:31:24] hmm [21:31:25] oh there's your problem, you have two accounts [21:31:28] https://ldap.toolforge.org/user/d3r1ck01 [21:31:38] I think on wikitech it's actually derick, not d3r1ck01 [21:31:42] ^ [21:32:09] Platonides, yes that's the shell name. [21:32:11] D3r1ck01 has been disabled since 2017 [21:32:16] yep, those are two accounts [21:32:21] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T171417 [21:32:39] Reedy, I can login to https://toolsadmin.wikimedia.org/profile/settings/accounts/ with my Wikitech creds [21:33:39] AntiComposite, yes that's the task I filed for the change. [21:34:53] that's a good mess of account identities :D [21:35:05] Platonides, yeah! Maybe that is the reason? [21:36:02] you are actually using two different accounts [21:36:18] that's why the password change "failed" [21:37:06] Oh my! Is there a way out of this? Any ideas, this has always troubled me :( [21:37:50] have any gerrit permissions moved to `derick`, then stop using the other accounts [21:43:58] AntiComposite, not sure I understand the question [21:54:42] it's not a question, it's a statement/answer [21:54:54] Okay [22:00:46] xSavitar: Which account do you wish to continue using? I think the best solution is to disable/block the others so this can't accidently happen again... [22:02:10] p858snake, I'll like to go with the Wikitech one but not sure if the Gerrit account can be renamed or how it will be affected. [22:02:53] p858snake, they are already blocked on wikitech [22:03:09] but Gerrit doesn't care [22:03:25] * AntiComposite grumbles about ldap [22:03:49] it was probably blocked before the hooks were added [22:04:11] 2017, so probably [22:04:36] the answer on renaming LDAP accounts is "it can technically be done, but it usually breaks everything" [22:04:47] xSavitar: You would simply start logging into gerrit with your wikitech username/password [22:05:15] you may need to change some of your local git stuff I guess to deal with your "new" account [22:05:37] p858snake, okay! And I'll loose my history for the "old" account :( [22:06:16] I mean we could rewrite a bunch of git history but that would be an even worse idea [22:06:49] gerrit mostly works by email, and that's easier to change [22:07:31] AntiComposite: renaming LDAP accounts doesn't happen anymore, last i looked [22:07:48] see "it breaks everything" [22:07:53] Okay! So if I change my email, does it mean I can have access to the history? [22:23:24] p858snake, I've tried logging in with my Wikitech credentials to Gerrit but it says auth failed. [22:24:57] Does Gerrit accept such usernames? "Example User"? I've also tried "Example_User" but still no luck [22:27:18] use your shell username, not your wikitech username [22:27:28] derick [22:28:04] maybe [22:29:08] no [22:29:35] I've also tried that but it didn't work as well. [22:29:50] should be "Alangi Derick" [22:30:19] AntiComposite, so I've tried: "derick", "Alangi Derick", "Alangi_Derick [22:30:22] " [22:30:31] and none seems to work. I get auth failed. [22:31:35] can you log in to https://toolsadmin.wikimedia.org/ ? [22:36:02] AntiComposite, with my wiki tech credentials, yes! [22:36:11] The "Alangi Derick" one [22:36:40] hrm, the same creds should work for gerrit [22:37:23] It doesn't, just tried again now. Not sure why it's failing honestly. From all the discussions here, it should work [23:00:06] I would make a task out of this [23:00:17] so that someone can look up the gerrit error
