Hi guys,
EDIT 2 - found the bug!: I am now 100% sure, that Meteor has a bug in the Accounts.changePassword() (Client) function! Using this function, only changes the password for the current instance of Meteor, all the others connected to the same MongoDB end up with a broken password!
I have a very weird problem here!
Following setup:
1.) main Meteor server on a digital ocean droplet; on the same droplet my mondodb instance is running
2.) another Meteor server for my mobile app - connected to the same mongodb server via local IP via MONGO_URL
In both my browser app (#1) and my mobile app (#2) the user can signup.
First of all, I had the very weird problem, that users created on the secondary mobile server could not login on the main server! Only solution I found was calling my custom createUser method on the main server via const mainConnection = DDP.connect(...) --> mainConnection.call(...) - for some reason this works, although I don’t understand why.
Now I had another problem:
For a big customer I am creating a bunch of user accounts on the server - their passwords are set completely randomly via Accounts.setPassword() and then sent via custom E-Mail to the user.
For some reason, completely random as fas as I can tell, some of these passwords sent via E-Mail only either work on the mobile app or in the browser, others work fine in both! I only get the “password incorrect error” that is it - no more.
I really need help here guys - this is a huge problem for me if the users can’t login! (obviously)
EDIT: Maybe it has something to do with a hash-salt which is set by the Meteor server or something? In any case I need a 100% failsafe way to insert users and update passwords!
Please help!
Cheers, Patrick
