HI Simo, Dmitiri, Rob and co.

Simos "log in with a different user" suggestion is pretty much what I was intending. I want to be able to log out of the web ui, then log back in with a different user. e.g. to allow a newly added user to change their password to something secret.

On this particular workstation I have no kerberos ticket (double checking with klist at the terminal confirms this). I have not saved the password in Firefox (checking in the settings confirms this).

I often have ssh sessons open via terminal to the FreeIPA Server, and even Apache Directory Studio open to browse the LDAP structure and content. I don't see how that can play a role, but I mention it for completeness.

Seems that would be a useful option for me too. I normally login as myself but there are times when someone comes by and wants to change their password and it's easier if they do it on my system sometimes as the Kerberos auth prompt confuses them and I can coach them through. Also, I occasionally need to login as the primary 'admin' user as some of the options (ahem - Sudo rules on version 3.0.0) are not accessible regardless of the permissions given.
