Description
Hi,
Maybe there are some elements I don't understand...
1) I had to signup with my already existing admin user to be able to login.
2) When I create a user with the admin panel, I have an error 500 because the nativeauthenticator.NativeAuthenticator does not allow to pass an option like : c.LocalAuthenticator.create_system_users = True
/home/{new_user} is not created.
Am I missing someting ?
Thanks in advance :)
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading NativeAuthenticator and the LocalAuthenticator configuration around create_system_users. Check how users created through the admin panel are handled and whether existing system-user initialization is supported; done means admin-created users can receive their UNIX home directories without the reported error.
