Do you have like an instruction on how to move users from the old instance (with Cloudrone user management) to the new one (with inapp Mastodon user management)?

For "Forgot your password", I get the email. But clicking on the link in the email doesn't work.

Notice there are two separate links below

Not sure what you're referring to here?

Just tested this now. non-cloudron users are able to get email in my instance atleast.

yeah, as I said in the OP

"if you do use Cloudron user management external users can register, but they then they can't reset their password!"

But I do agree. Ideally, we can put some subtext that provides the implications. Maybe upstream will fix the issue though and we don't need to anything as well.

I will put this in Cloudron's post install message as well.

Notice there are two separate links below:

@ericyu00 said in When using Cloudron user management non-cloudron users cannot reset password:

wonder if you can migrate your account to another server, re-build your Mastodon app, then migrate back?

yeah, thanks, I'd thought about that too and may try it.. shall investigate...

Ah, I'm not sure that'd work because:

"There is also a very heavy cooldown period in which you cannot migrate again, so be very careful before using this option!"

From https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/

Frustratingly doesn't say how long that period is though.

we do not make any special changes besides enabling LDAP and set one other setting to disable external account creation, which apparently is not supported upstream or the setting has changed.

There is definitely an option within Mastondon to close registrations. I can't remember for sure (would have to reinstall to double check), but I'm pretty sure even though I chose Cloudron user management registrations were open already.

OK, in which case, what I mean is evidently just enabling LDAP is what is causes this issue.

I wonder if there is anyway I can un-enable LDAP in an app initially installed with Cloudron user management enabled?

is not supported to change the usermanagement option later. We have thought of adding that, but it also creates various edge-cases to be dealt with and generally the demand for this was not very high in the past.

That's what I thought

I've seen lots of people hit issues due to this though, so I think there is probably a fair bit of demand.

So, sounds like I'm going to have to start again with https://safejust.space and lose the 237 followers @DoughnutEconomics already has on there

In our experience changing auth handlers, often has unexpected side-effects in apps, which are not easy to understand or pinpoint unless one is an expert of the app itself.

For the password reset issue, I so far suspect that this is an upstream bug

I don't get why you think that when it's obviously caused by a change you make to the package when Cloudron user management is enabled, no?

For the password reset issue, I so far suspect that this is an upstream bug or simply an unhandled case, but I still need to further debug the app for this, those app internals are not really our expertise of course.

integrate with Cloudron usermanagement, the latter should lock down user registration,

It did not lock down registration (this is also the case with lots of other apps BTW, e.g. Rocket.Chat).

The input I'm asking for: is it possible for me to change the user management settings of an already installed instance of Mastodon?

Or asked another way: are there any changes that can be made to existing package so that when using Cloudron user management non-Cloudron users can still reset their passwords? (at this point wouldn't even care if this would break things for Cloudron users)

Basically: is there anything I can do to get my existing instance of Mastodon I've installed working correctly so that my non-Cloudron users can reset their passwords, or do I need to throw the whole thing away and start again from scratch? (which would no doubt be very annoying for my users who I guess will then loose everything they've done )
