It seems like this should be a FAQ, but I haven't found it anywhere (although lots of similar stuff, mostly LDAP)... anyway:

I'm using Customer::AuthModule = DB.

I've confirmed that the table name in "Table", the field names in "CustomerKey" and "CustomerPassword" are all correct (at their defaults).

I'm using PostgreSQL 8.3, btw.

I believe I've confirmed the DSN is correct; it's set to "dbi:Pg:dbname=otrs;host=localhost;user=otrs;password=[removed];".

I can generate errors on the web front end by intentionally misconfiguring this; I can also successfully connect with this as my DSN string in a simple Perl script. I've also tried moving user and password information out of the DSN into their respective config fields... every combination I can think of. I am fairly confident that the DSN is not the problem, but not 100%...

Anyway, when using the Customer front end to request a password reset, the customer_user.pw field is never updated. Email is sent, clicking the link gets me emailed a new password, but the password is never written to the DB, so of course I can't log in with it.

[As an aside: I'm having trouble using logs because traffic is making syslog so full... and I can't change the SysConfig "Logfile" parameter; when I select File and submit, it refreshes as "SysLog" again...??? ]

Thanks in advance for any advice,
