After a Windows (Active Directory) password change, my old password still works

Description of the problem 

  • Your user account has been imported from an Active Directory and you use yourActive Directory password to log in to the Open Bee™ Portal.   
  • You change your Active Directory password 
  • It is possible to log in to Open Bee™ Portal with both your new and old password. 

Solution 

By default, when you change your password on an Active Directory, the old password remains valid for one hour. This behavior explains why you can log in (for a while) with your old password  since Open Bee™ Portal uses the Active Directory to authenticate you.
