Authentication

Hi,

I was wondering if it's possible to use csv user upload to generate new passwords and send out notification emails to existing users.

I thought it might work if I

1. upload a user list with a dummy password, like...

• username;password;firstname;...
• testuser;xxxxxx;joetest;...

2. and then upload the same list without passwords, hopefully triggering the cron to create new passwords and send them out.

• username;password;firstname;...
• testuser;;joestest;...
  

The reason why I want to do this is to have the time to go through these accounts and make adjustments that can't be included in the csv, (like excluding/overwriting gradebook items and adding individual comments) before people actually know about their login details.

I'm also open for other suggestions ;)

best regards
Sebastian
