No, you're not missing something, that should be changed, and will be for
4.1b3, which will be out this week. You'll notice a lot of changes in the
console.

There isn't one - the account is locked. This will be made clear in 4.1b3.

Will do.

The user cannot log on without a valid password. The admin will have to
either set the password and inform the user, or allow the user to type in
a password into the admin's browser.

Is DNS for www.mycompany.com set up correctly to resolve to your
server? The DNS settings for www.company.com are independent of the server
setup. Without DNS set up correctly, you should be able to access the main
web site using http://a.b.c.d/ where a.b.c.d is the IP address of your
server's Internet connection.
Thanks for your testing and feedback.
