      Steps to reproduce

      • Set user A to be 'inactive'.
      • Try to login as user A.
      • Observe JIRA will deny login because the user is inactive.
      • Click "Can't access your account?".
      • Choose "forgot password".
      • Enter username.
      • Click submit.
      • Observe that JIRA confirms "An email has been send with a link to reset your password".
      • The user can click on the link in the email and setup a new password.

      Expected Behaviour

      • JIRA should alert the user that a password reset could not be performed or a similar message
      • An inactive user should not be able to reset their JIRA password.

      Actual Behaviour

      • JIRA allows an inactive user to reset their password

      Note however that JIRA rightly, still denies the inactive user login even after the allowed password reset.
