Hi,

Wolfgang, thanks for filing this bug! It was useful already, from reading the
mails to quickly I thought this bug affected our jessie version..! (and not
the stable wheezy release as it's now clear.)

Leaving lots of context for the gosa maintainers...:

After investigating further it seems to be that the mechanism using
encrypted passwords in gosa.conf is failing now.

(As far as I know the random cleartext password generated during setup
is encrypted using gosa-encrypt-passwords and a file gosa.secrets is
generated to let apache2 cope with the encrypted passwords.)

This seems to work getting an upgraded Wheezy main-server working again
(no need to generate a new gosa.conf):

(1) cat /dev/null > /etc/gosa/gosa.secrets
(2) take the random cleartext password from gosa.conf.orig and put it
    instead of the encrypted long one into gosa.conf (actually twice:
    adminPassword and snapshotAdminPassword)
(3) restart apache2

From a security point of view it's probably more than dubious...
Maybe gosa-encrypt-passwords has to be adjusted.

Comments?


cheers,
	Holger

while getting GOsa² proper for Debian jessie, we closed these two bugs

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=753419
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=748065

Maybe any of those is related?

Also, there was an upload of php5 to wheezy-security on Oct 18th, maybe that one is related.

Mike
