It lets user use MYID to log in to the page via LDAP. We release zclsuter password at that page once MYID matches our database record of new user.
So we can avoid to send password via email.

We need some mechanism to pass passwords to new users, or to users who have forgotten their password. The old way was via a web page that users authenticated with using MyID. The passwords were generated by a script on the zcluster, which uploaded the password to the web page. (GD)


Here is some text from Yecheng in reply to Curtis' question about what this page is:

It lets user use MYID to log in to the page via LDAP. We release zclsuter password at that page once MYID matches our database record of new user. So we can avoid to send password via email.
