Hi,
We are working on latest DHIS 2.24 version (revision 23516). We observed different behaviours in different browsers when trying to modify ‘admin’ user. The browsers we used for testing are Chrome (version 52.0) and Firefox (version 48.0.2). In Chrome, when we modify the admin user and change some setting for the user, and save it, it gets saved immediately. However, In Firefox, when we try to modify admin user and save it - it prompts for entering a proper password and we cannot save the user unless we change the existing default password to suit the password regulations required. I guess this is because, since admin user has a default password all in lowercase, it cannot save it unless it meets the password requirements. However, Chrome does not prompt any such error. Is this a known issue? What is the expected behaviour?
Please see the screenshot below.
Here, we tried to update the Interface language of the admin user to ‘Chinese’. And when we click ‘save’, this is what happens in Firefox.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
···

Hi,
I cannot reproduce this issue.
Changing the interface language works fine in Chrome, without entering the password. The difference you are experiencing is most likely due to the browser auto-filling one of the sensitive fields (which require the password). Please try with the browser in incognito mode and with suggestions/auto-filling turned off.
In any case you should abide by the password rules set by the system (the admin:district on our demo DB is an exception for historical reasons).

Hi Halvdan,
The screenshot attached is it’s behaviour in Firefox, and not in Chrome. You’re right, it works fine in Chrome. But, it’s different in firefox.
