changing admin password gives 500 status in 5.0-RC8

[craigberry]

The first thing I did after installing eXist 5.0-RC8 on macOS Mojave with the DMG installer was change the admin password in the user manager after logging in with the default (blank) admin password. As soon as I clicked Save I got a 500 response and the Javascript console shows:

[Error] Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Server Error) (admin, line 0) http://localhost:8080/exist/apps/dashboard/bower_components/existdb-usermanager/api/user/admin

I'm also having this issue in 5.0.0 release both for changing the admin pw and for trying to add a new user. Just posted to the group list (see details there).

I was able to change a user pw using the xquery sm:passwd function in eXide, so I continue to think this is a dashboard bug.

This happens not only for admin but any user account and any change (e.g. account description)

problem with updating the user is now fixed but still after the admin pass has been changed there's a login problem remaining, not sure what's the desired behaviour

Remaining issues related to login and admin password changes will be addressed in the next iteration of the dashboard, which is under development. It will reintegrate the various sub-apps into a single one. Global issues like login/logout are thus expected to be fixed by this refactoring.

How would I do this exactly?
