Checking password field

Is there a way in Cacti to check if entered values in "textbox_password" field are both the same? As far as I tested the Cacti doesn't check that

yes it does. It uses a PHP/HTML function to perform it. So, if it's broken, it would affect more than just Cacti.

I'm using Cacti version 0.8.6h from CactiEZ installation.
The problem occurs when for example I enter 2 different SNMP password in Settings tab then click Save and there's no warning

It just saves the first value. Could this be bug in this version of Cacti or
am I doing something wrong?

Hi

in Settings -> SNMP Defaults, the only fields are :

SNMP Version
SNMP Community
SNMP Username (v3)
SNMP Password (v3)
SNMP Timeout
SNMP Port Number
SNMP Retries

It seems none of these fields asks for confimation.

No, hidden/confirmations here.

The picture you posted is from "host.php" t.i. Devices page.
Following picture is from Settings tab:

Sorry, I didn't see the 2 "password" fields

You're right, it really seems to be a bug.
When entering 2 different passwords, only the 1st one is kept :

Code: Select all

+--------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| name                           | value                                                                                                        |
+--------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| snmp_password                  | foo

Larry, user_admin.php includes this :

Code: Select all

/* check to make sure the passwords match; if not error */
                if ($_POST["password"] != $_POST["password_confirm"]) {
                        raise_message(4);
                }

Maybe settings.php sould include the same ?

Yeah, crap. I wonder why no one pointed this out before. That stinks. Bug reports can be submitted to:
