Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Author: dereckson@espace-win.org

Description:

A former SVN account owner, Nojhan, has a legacy account and can't use
it in Wikitech, Gerrit, Labs, etc.
Could you upgrade the account?
Wikitech username: nojhan
Shell account name: nojhan
Email address: <nojhan at nojhan>
History of the case:
- https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53793
- Ryan Lane has asked the relevant details by mail (see comment 1)
- Nojhan then sent a mail with relevant details
- I've seen him today on IRC and ask him update, he indicated to don't
have received a reply.

rtimport set Reference to rt5923.

for other admins: !add-labs-user on #wikimedia-labs should describe how to do
this.. docs quote ". If you currently have SVN access, then you have an
account, but need to have it linked to Labs (how-to for admins:
!add-labs-user)."

Status changed from 'new' to 'open' by RT_System

Could you add the answers to Ryan's questions either here or on the Bugzilla
ticket? Would enable others to do it too.
* Preferred wikitech username (this will also be the user's git display name)
* Preferred shell account name (must be lowercase and ascii, this is used for
ssh)
* Email address

Sebastien, sorry, i saw too late you already added all that to this RT ticket,
nevermind.We are looking into it now.

I've linked nojhan's account. Here's what I did:
1. modify-ldap-user <--mail=nojhan at nojhan> --cn=Nojhan nojhan
2. change-ldap-passwd --random nojhan
3. Login to wikitech as Nojhan, using the password returned in #2
4. Logged out, sent a password reminder
