Hi Jo,

I might got Knut point incorrectly. If this is the case, Bob's suggestion is quite appropriate. If there is existing authentication mechanism like Active Directory (e.g microsoft LDAP implementation), system could be adjusted to use LDAP, but not provided out of the box. The reason is that not every installation has AD or LDAP ready for use (e.g. Windows XP), and we have many single machine use cases. 
In case of already existing LDAP server, its the metter of changing authentication provider to one of LDAP. In this case user roles also should be managed by LDAP server.

For ordinary user to have access to change its password itself, you have to assign him role ROLE_dhis-web-maintenance-user, but its initial set, we are calling for more options ans intensive tests. You can assign user role as before through user settings menu option. Sorry links are not i18nized for now.

My comment was probably not very good. I was trying to understand the example Knut had, probably not understanding what it means to "generate users". I´ll keep away until I actually have time to look at these things myself :)
