Setting the password for a created user

Description

The way it works now: The administrator user is the one who creates a new user and defines the new user's password by typing in a password. The new way could be:

  • The administrator user creates a user without manually setting the password -> A generated one-time password is created dynamically and stored in the password field.
  • When the new user's data is written to the mb_user table simultaneously a ticket number for that new user is written into table mb_user (new field)
  • An e-mail is sent to the new user which contains a link to a new Mapbender module. The new module is a simple form where the user is requested to insert her new password (twice for confirmation), password is validated for safety
  • If the ticket number is not valid the module returns an error
  • If the ticket number is valid, the new password will be saved in db and the ticket number of this user will be deleted
