Embedding "Change my password" in Sharepoint

Hi all,
I want to offer a "Change my password"-webpart in Sharepoint. It has to query for login, old password, new password (twice) and to contact idm 8.0 directly. Using SPML seems to be one solution, but I'm not perfectly happy about it....
Here is why:
- I can not find a SPML-library for dotnet, only for java
- therefor I consider writing a java-webservice as a "proxy", which uses SPML to talk to the idm-backend and offers a simple interface to be accessed by dotnet
- using java I have no clean way to verify the old password. Using login and the old password to access the admin-interface, catch the exeption and check for "User is no admin" is really really ugly.
- setPassword ignores the old password, otherwise it would be an alternativ to the ugly kludge
- If I do that, die Password is changed by the admin-account which is used by SPML, not by the user. The audit-report is therefor misleading and the password is considered to be expired... :-(
So, any "nice" alternatives? Or things I got wrong and might do better?
CU,
Patrick.

Hi,
If the user wants to change his password, then the user can click on  personalize link in masthead to change password. The user should be assigned EU_Role to have this personalize link in masthead.
Click personalize --> User Profile --> User Password

  • How to login owa using URL embedding username and password?

    Hi, guys
    Whether can users login O365 owa using url embedding username and password? Such as  https://mail.mycompany.com/owa/....username=myalias...pwd=password... ?
    I found a post http://blog.leederbyshire.com/2012/10/12/how-to-login-to-owa-2010-by-passing-credentials-in-the-url-querystring/
    But it doesn't work.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I don't think we can login Office 365 OWA using url embedding username and password.
    The post you found may be a way to login OWA 2010. As mentioned in the post you provided, we need to use code to support with the URL
    https://yourserver.yourdomain.com/owa/?un=yourusername&pw=yourpassword#sthash.cuiZTz5Y.dpuf, not just a simple
    URL.
    There is a location in the blog you mentioned:
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\ClientAccess\Owa\auth\logon.aspx
    It's a location on a computer which installed Exchange server. As stated in the blog, we need to insert the code into the logon.aspx
    file and then login OWA with the URL.
    However, for Office 365 OWA which uses a cloud based server, we can do nothing to change the logon.aspx file for Office 365 OWA. That's why I don't think we can do the trick.

  • UCM 11g change user password

    Hi,
    I am not able to find out how users could change their passwords.
    It is about UCM 11g.
    Pls if anybody knows to tell me
    Thanks in advance

    This was actually the first custom component I created for 11g.
    You should look into the 'self' features that are available in ldap security options. For example, as it seems that we're talking about the embedded ldap here:
    for weblogic embedded server, add to acls.prop:
         ou=people,ou=myrealm,dc=ecm_domain|subtree#grant:r,w,o,s#userpassword#this:
    This will let people use their current password to bind into ldap and change their own password. they won't be able to change other passwords. This works well and you can put together a template that has the standard change pw format:
    current password:
    new password:
    confirm password:
    at least that's what I put together.

  • How does a user change their password?

    I have been using OS X server to provide, among other things, centralised user accounts, such that any user can logon to any mac on the network by providing mobile accounts. However, if a user wants to change their password, this only appears to affect the local (cached) copy of the account and doesn't appear to change it centrally. i.e. use System Preferences-> Accounts
    How does a user change their 'network' password in OS X Server?

    There is no inbuilt functionality to change the user password from SharePoint. All user account details need to be managed from AD.

  • I tried to sign up for a new free account, got message from you. Sent you em address ask what is wrong. Find my em was right. condused. Tried change my profile, but never had a profile, and at that it says to change my password, not want to change it.

    Wow, at age 76 I'm suppose to remember all I saw before and give you more details?
    I wanted to be able to join the support blog, to be able to ask a question. It all went from there. Somewhere along the line I saw sign up for a new free (support?) account. I did. created a cute name (Marycontrary), put in a password, not likely one to be used by someone else, my em address. Sent. Got a confirmation em from you. I clidked to confirm. I got back from you: It said something wrong (or something like that) I thought maybe I didn't type in the last part of my em address and sent a reply to you to that effect. See above for rest. Hope you can help. I can't stand it when companies want us to change our passwords. I like us to be able to keep our original password, I use different ones for different sites. The best sites give us a chance to retrieve our orignial password by setting up a chance to choosing a question of our choice and registering the answer, then when a problem they as the question and we give the answer and everything goes well. These change you password bits are very very hard on us older people, and there are more and more of us out here on the net now days. Thank you for any help you can give me.'''bold text'''

  • I can't access email from my iPhone 3gs since changing email password

    Hi all,
    iPhone 3s 16GB
    iOS version: 6.1.3
    ISP Bigpond Cable
    I can't access my email from my iPhone 3GS.
    This is an iPhone problem, not an ISP problem.
    I know this because I can access my email from both my laptop and webmail.
    This is occurring here at home via my WiFi network and also a few kilometres away via 3G.
    This morning I had to change the password on my Bigpond Cable internet email account.
    Whenever I try to access email from my phone I receive the following error:
    "Cannot Get Mail"
    "The user name or password for "**** *****" is incorrect."
    There are two buttons, one captioned Settings the other OK.
    Both the user name and password are correct. This happened perhaps 4 or 5 times in the 6+ years I was with Internode and has happened a couple of times in the 20 months that I've been on Bigpond Cable.
    I have re-entered my email account and connection details multiple times to no avail.
    I have tried deleting the account, then rebooting my phone and creating a new account, but that didn't work.
    I tried deleting the account, turning the phone completely off, waiting one minute and then after turning it back on, creating a new account but that didn't work.
    I know I am entering the correct settings because before I deleted the account the first time, I took a series of screen captures from the Settings App and I also have the settings from MS Outlook to refer to.
    Its as though somewhere in the phone, the old email password is being stored and being used instead of the new one, but I don't know where that could be except in the Settings app, "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" and that is where I am entering the new password.
    The only solutions to this problem I found by searching are those that I have already tried and haven't worked for me.
    Reverting to the old password is not an option. My account was compromised by Malware, hence the password change and a complete scan of my laptop.
    Any ideas?

    The problem was resolved by erasing the entire contents of my phone and then restoring it, setting it up as a new phone.

  • TS3899 cannot receive or send email from my hotmail account, refuses to verify server. I have changed my password, deleted the account numerous times, any solutions? all on ios 6.

    cannot receive or send email from my hotmail account, refuses to verify server. I have changed my password, deleted the account numerous times, any solutions? all on ios 6. it was working up until a few days ago and now refuses to load on both my ipad 2 and iphone 4S
    in the process deleted all my contact, very annoying.
    all help is much appreciated.
    interesting that my gmail account does work perfectly.

    this may or may not help - but give it a try.  On a forum some were reporting that talk21 is now under the yahoo umbrella.  below are the steps this use listed.  (This was an android forum, but the email settings should be the same.  In short it looks like their server names have changed.  An existing account may have simply been forwarded - but if you are reinstalling, it may want a clean install to the right servers.)  Pay particular attention to the server names and port settings.  (this thread was started based on a discussion of Imap vs pop - you are already an Imap person - so ignore that part)
    See if this helps.
    why settle for pop3, when IMAP works with talk21 and not only does mail get pushed out faster with IMAP, but when you click refresh it will be received faster than pop3.  The other advantage is subfolders are also supported with IMAP but cant be seen with POP3. This mail feature works with my android eclair & hero phone and the settings are exactly the same for win mobiles also (not tested). The mail setting up roadmap is the same from what i can remember once in the mail feature for win mobi. 
    This is what you need to do to setup Talk21 email with IMAP. 
    Incoming server settings
    IMAP server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
    Port - 143
    Security type - none 
    Outgoing Server settings
    SMTP server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    Port - 25
    Security type - none Also important note - Enable 'require sign-in'
    and enter your talk21 username and password The End...works a treat for me p.s. Its only taken me 3 years to work it out with win mobile and recently with android. Finally got it to work...hope this helps all the talk21 users out there. if there are any other similar posts out there with no answer...dont forget to mention my name when passing this post around.

  • I've just received an email from 'Apple' saying that my apple id was used      to sign into iCloud on an iphone 5s.  I have an iphone 4.  It's asking me to sign in to confirm my details and change my password.  How do I know if this email is genuine?

    I've just received an email from 'Apple' saying that my apple id was used to sign into iCloud on an iphone 5S.  I have an iphone 4.  It then asks that I 'click here' to confirm my details and change my password.  How do I tell if the email is genuine?

    Apple will not ask you to click a link in an email. They may tell you to log in to your account to reset your password. Go to https://appleid.apple.com and log in if you ever want to change any information in your profile (or your password). And do not click the link I just posted; instead enter it into a browser.
    You can verify the devices assigned to your account by going to https://icloud.com/find (again, don't click it), where you can see a list of devices registered to your Apple ID.
    As a general rule, you should never click a link in an email or forum post without verifying it first. You can see where it goes without clicking it in most email programs and browsers by hovering your mouse pointer over it. On an iPhone you can check where it goes by holding your finger on the link (rather than just tapping it).

  • I don't know the password for the SMTP account so as to mail photos.  How can I retrieve or change the password?

    I am unable to share photos from the Iphoto program because I don't know the password for the SMTP account.  How can I either retrieve or change that password?  Or is it one I already should know?

    Have you set the general preferences in iPhoto to email using iPhoto? Then change it to email using "Mail". This way iPhoto will use your regular Mail account.

  • HT202274 Password change old password not recognized after 10.9.5 upgrade

    God bless you, peace.
    macbook pro 2012 user password not recognized after 10.9.4 too 10.9.5 upgrade plus tech work at apple.
    I want to change user password, it is allowing me to get into user account and admin account on computer but I recently changed it for the tech work to be done. I would like to put the password back now to old password or a new one but... The few days old new password pre update and pre tech work is not being accepted to allow me to change to another password.
    recent update, after 10.9.4 to 10.9.5 update and apple tech work done.
    1. Tech work replaced optical drive,
    2. 10.9.4 to 10.9.5 upgrade left computer endlessly booting up, then got into finder window tried to read backup drive and screen went to black curser and could not backup information as techs decided may need to be done before I left it with them.
    3. Also track pad was not (is not again) selecting text to drag unless real hard press and then only intermittently would select text or just drop the selection (not hold the selected text after a long scroll select, did work at first after tech work but back to not working). It is still not responding easily when pressed, but it is much better, as they did something with software they said. Today While typing this I am trying to select words misspelled and it does not select them unless I press not as hard it is becoming the same as before I see now, sometimes less pressure is needed but more than should be used.
    I noticed today after tech work The Spell check is not responding with a two finger tap on the red underlined misspelled words without multiple try's with two finger tap. The curser moves around after selecting words also, or when selecting words so hard the curser moves to another place not on the desired words or check box. The curser arrow tip should select the word but it does not recognize unless I put the tail of the arrow onto the word then it recognizes the misspelled word for spell check on two finger gesture.
    It looks like I need to take it back, I tried to call and check to confirm if the track pad intermittently and curser adjustment was serviced. In order to verify I had called three times to get that information to no avail. endless looped in the phone que, one would answer take info and then forward me to a endless loop dial ing phone that never was picked up, supposedly at the Bay street store tech section. Phone voice mail from apple support status on the repair, ...Juliano from Bay Street Apple repair store Emeryville, ca left a voice message... just generically said optical drive replacement is successfulI, I noticed right away three items were to be addressed but only the optical drive was mentioned, so I called three times to try and verify the other problems. One whole minute just to select this text and copy it to notes for a backup. It would not select at first, then after selected it would not copy it, then it would not paste to notes, it paste the last cut and paste I did 10 minutes ago.
    I do not have a easy excellent wifi connection for my wifi only phone and would prefer email or chat for repair help. apple Repair No: R142180337

    Try running the combo update. It fixes more files/data than the App Store upgrade.

  • I changed a password to a frequesntly used site. Firefox has not asked me if I want to save this new password and I have to keep changing the saved one to the correct one. How do I get it to save the new password?

    I have websites I use for my employer that require a password. The employer requires these be changed periodically. Always before, if I changed the password, about the second or third time I tried to log in and changed the saved password to the correct one, Firefox would ask if I wanted to save the new password. It is not doing this now. How can I get it to save a new password? It keeps putting in the old one.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

  • I changed my password and it updated on all of my devices except my ipad... Now I get this error message from icloud saying icloud backup cannot access my account... There are two options: ignore or settings

    Error message: icloud unable to access my account... I changed my password, this is the message on my ipad. gives me two options: ignore/settings... ipad not responding to either... ?

    Try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • How do I change the password on my IPhone?

    How do I change the password on my IPhone?  I am using a card that belonged to my former daughter in law and I cannot get the original password.  I need it to change the Restrictions setting because all of a sudden my ITunes apps won't download when I sync my phone....just photos and music.  Apps list is "grayed" out. 

    No, not on the home screen.  I clicked on Settings + Restrictions (which is set at "Yes" and I need to change it to "No") and the number pad came up and wanted the password.  My son says its the password that was put on originally when the phone was new (by his ex-wife who owned the phone at the time.)  So now I cannot retrieve the original password from her and cannot change the Restrictions setting and therefore, cannot fix my ITunes/Apps problem.  So aggravating!  But thanks for your response!
