#19056 closed Bug (fixed)

Admin password change page relies on user.username

Description

The admin "change password" template currently renders "original.username" to identify the user whose password is to be changed.

Pluggable user models means that username isn't always available. It should use __unicode__ instead.

Fixed #19056 -- Ensure admin change password template doesn't rely on username attribute.

comment:2 by Gabe Jackson, 12 years ago

this also applies to the 'title' context variable set in UserAdmin's def user_change_password(self, request, id, form_url=): somewhere about:

context = {

'title': _('Change password: %s') % escape(user.username),
'adminForm': adminForm,

this should be changed to

context = {

'title': _('Change password: %s') % escape(user.get_username()),
'adminForm': adminForm,

i'm on the run right now, but perhaps somebody could commit that.

Greetings,

Gabe

Good catch -- it's would also be worth doing a quick search for .username to see if there is anywhere else that the attribute is being used directly.

I have pull request for this (tiny) change on Github. I probably should have opened a ticket. https://github.com/django/django/pull/511

I quick grep of django.contrib.auth reveals this to be the sole remaining reference (aside from in tests).

I will close it the request if you commit your own patch.
