Which account does the 'set password' work on?

[wdonovan]

We have users in both the Confluence internal and our LDAP external directories.  One of the users can't login and they are in both directories.  If I use the 'set password' link on their user account page, which account gets updated?

Hi @wdonovan ,

The directory order is significant during the authentication of the user, in cases where the same user exists in multiple directories. When a user attempts to log in, the application will search the directories in the order specified, and will use the credentials (password) of the first occurrence of the user to validate the login attempt.
