Bug description

Hi all,
I just upgraded to version 27.1.0 from the previous last version of 27.0.x and a problem came up (upgrade all ok).
When I generate a public share (web link) having set up forced password usage a random password is (correctly) generated.
Process that has always worked correctly on version 27.0.x.
However, the automatic password appears to have expired a few seconds ago.
If I set a password by typing it in, it works correctly.

PLEASE NOTE:

the problem occurs ONLY on links with automatically generated password on version 27.1.0.
If the link was previously generated (27.0.x or 26.0.x) there is no problem.
The same behavior has been verified on two different servers.

Steps to reproduce

1.I create a public share
2.An automatic password is assigned (because it is forced)
3.Sharing appears to have expired a few seconds ago

If I set a password manually (overwriting the automatic one) it works correctly.

Expected behavior

That the link is working properly

Hi !

this is the screenshot with the error display.
Sorry for the mixed language (ita/eng).

"scadenza password alcuni secondi fa " => "password expiration a few seconds ago "

Keep in mind that the problem was verified on both edge and chrome, on two different servers.

A clarification:
-) the problem occurs only during mail link sharing (during the generation of sharing with mail link sending)
-) as shown in the screenshot above, going to the advanced options
-) the automatically generated password turns out to be expired, so if you directly press the "proceed" button you will be notified that the random password you just created has expired
-) If you edit by hand, everything works smoothly

I understand that the problem has been identified and solved.
How do I download the modified files (or diffs) to apply to version 27.1.0 in production ?

Very thanks

It would get released in 27.1.1 which should be available for download/update early next week, worst case. :)

OK, 27.1.1 now works but:

Show again ""password expired a few seconds ago ""
but unlike before it works correctly without manually resetting the password.

Only the warning appears that the pre set random password + expired.

While I would confirm this later, please @dea-75 clear you cache (if enabled) and report if anything changes.

Thanks for the follow up.

[nfebe]

@dea-75, Right, would be sorted out.

Since this commit has already been back-ported this last been would be shipped in with #40438.
