Recently I had to change another user’s password due to a probable typo. Using the login page’s “forgot password” displayed a 500 error. Looking through Kiwi’s dashboard, documentation, and github discussions, it was said that users can only change their own passwords. While I have worked around the issue (unable to change password) by using

docker exec -it kiwi_web /Kiwi/manage.py changepassword userNameHere 

, I want to know if the cause for the initial 500 error is due to a settings issue in Kiwi’s common.py file or it is something else entirely.

Tried

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/topics/auth/default/
https://kiwitcms.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration.html
https://github.com/kiwitcms/Kiwi/issues/610
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/topics/email/#quick-example

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django_ses.SESBackend'
AWS_SES_ACCESS_KEY_ID = 'key'
AWS_SES_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = 'key'
EMAIL_HOST = ''
EMAIL_PORT = 25
EMAIL_FROM = 'mail'
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = '[email protected]'
EMAIL_SUBJECT_PREFIX = '[Kiwi-TCMS] '

Expected to be able to use password reset aimed towards the user’s set email address.

Actual is the 500 error.

New to this btw.
Thanks in advance.

EDIT:

These logs?:

Additionally, traceback doesnt seem to be working even after product.py’s DEBUG is True. Is this the bug you are referring to?

The question from another angle: Should the password reset function work after installing Kiwi or must I configure it, if so, what is required for config.

EDIT 2:
Are these logs relevant?
Used docker logs container | grep -i error

Ive tested it locally without changing the common and product files so it couldn’t be misconfigured. Between migrating the DB schema and creating the superuser, is there an additional step required to configure the email backend?

EDIT 3:
Finally got the traceback to show following the example from oritgaon at

    For anyone facing this issue, first go through https://kiwitcms.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installing_docker.html

    TO DISPLAY TRACEBACK:

    • Create local_settings.py under Kiwi dir and type:

      DEBUG = True

    • Save

    • In docker-compose.yml: Add line below as per https://github.com/kiwitcms/Kiwi/issues/631 to volumes

      ./local_settings.py:/venv/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/tcms/settings/local_settings.py

    • Run "docker-compose down" then "docker-compose up -d".

    TO ENABLE EMAIL FOR REGISTRATION AND PASSWORD RESET:

    • The config I used REQUIRED a gmail account with 2FA enabled as well as App Password set.
    • In local_settings.py: Add code below.

      EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'

      EMAIL_PORT = '587'

      EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'yourGmailAccountHere'

      EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'yourAppPasswordHere'

      EMAIL_USE_TLS = True

    • Save and recompose.

    In summary: My installation of Kiwi required configuration of email settings for the password reset and registration email to work.
