[question] Preset login username

[RPDJF]

Hey, small question here
According to the documentation, by setting up the $header_name_preset_login parameter to "username", it should be possible to preset the username box with https://server/?username=testuser, right ?

[coudot]

An HTTP header is not a GET parameter

[RPDJF]

Right, I've got myself all mixed up
So, there is no solution to preset the username box from the URL itself ?

[coudot]

It works with the GET parameter but it has nothing to do with the HTTP header option

Open Source is great because you can directly check it: https://github.com/ltb-project/self-service-password/blob/1.5/htdocs/change.php#L47

I've already tried the login parameter, but it does send a change request, right ? (and according to the code)
I was asking if it was possible to preset the "username" box only, without trying to change it already

I guess it isn't, it would be a feature request then

No, it just ask to enter the old password.

There is no communication with LDAP server until the form is complete.

You need to explain what is needed, I don't understand

[RPDJF]

I mean, the login paremeter send a warning message that the user needs to first enter the old password as you said thanks to the "$result = "loginrequired"

It would be nice if there was a "username" parameter that only fill the username box without sending a warning message
In my case. what I want to do is posting the link on an email that each users receive

the login parameter does fill the username box, but with a warning message because it isn't intended for this specific usage

[coudot]

This could indeed be an improvement
