user setup

[kylerlaird]

I'm new to Calendso. I'd be happy to work through the documentation but I see that docs.calendso.com is without an address. I'm guessing that means docs are not yet developed.

I was finally able to get Calendso installed on an Ubuntu instance. I'm having trouble creating a Calendso user. When I create one through Prisma Studio, the password that I enter is transformed to "null". I was hoping it's just getting hidden from display, but when I attempt to log in as that user, I get "Illegal arguments: string, object An error occurred when logging you in. Head back to the login screen and try again." I'm guessing that the object is "null" and it needs a password string.

Is there something special about the password field? Is it plaintext or a specially-formatted hash?

I went back to Prisma Studio and changed the password from null on the existing record. It seems to have saved the non-null value now. (The first time I did it was when I initially created the row.)

Unfortunately, I am still not able to log in. Now I get "Incorrect password An error occurred when logging you in. Head back to the login screen and try again."

I'm hoping I need to put a hash in there.

Yes, you need to add the bcrypt hash to the password field, and ensure there is no extra white space.

Thanks! That did it.

$ python3 -c "import bcrypt; print(bcrypt.hashpw(b'my_password', bcrypt.gensalt()))"
b'$2b$12$aWHxn0PEq1MK0quN3j8kH.R68iD8wAW..H1aKpFU4JNaAERyJ3V4W'

I had the same issue. I used the recommended bcrypt generator and could not log in because "Incorrect password".

The one-liner proposed by @kylerlaird worked fine though!
