Hello y’all

I was wondering if I did the right thing : I’ve modified the file user.py to reset the user’s password to a length of 8 characters by doing:

diff /home/galaxy/galaxy-dist/lib/galaxy/webapps/galaxy/controllers/user.py

/home/galaxy/galaxy-dist/lib/galaxy/webapps/galaxy/controllers/ARCHIVES/user.py_20140120_15.3.14

< for i in range(7):

---

...

for i in range(15):

I believe the sys admin would like this to be customizable in the universe_wsgi.ini file.

As well for the reset capability could be accessible just by the administrator.

I would like to apologies to galaxy-dev@bx.psu.edu if I’m spamming your email.

Please let me know if I should remove this to my threads.
