User's changing their own password

Is it possible to allow user to change their own password when logged onto a portal applicastion I have written ?

Presumably, the application you say you have written, is a Login Server partner application. So changing the user's password means changing it on the login server.
The URL that you need to go to, to do this, is something like: http://server.domain.com/pls/portal30_sso/portal30_sso.wwsso_app_user_mgr.change_password?p_done_url=xxxxx
Where xxxxx is the URL where you want control to go after the user submits their new password.

Is there a way to prevent an end-user from changing their own password?

All you guru's out there, I need your help. Is there a way to prevent an end-user from changing their own password? Is there a function or procedure I can create or what?

In this case, you do not want someone (whoever they are DBA etc) to connect as that
particuler user to change the password.Yes, but I wouldn't expect the users to[i] know that password. The connnect would be handled automatically, behind the scenes.
The clear implication of the OP's question and response was that users would not be allowed to change their own passwords. I'm guessing this is in response to a policy that says users mustn't have simple passwords like 123abc or mom. In such a scenario a better approach would be to apply regexp to a user's password to ensure it contains a mix of letters, numbers, punctuation, etc to achieve the desired level of complexity.
So questions, should not be regarded as daft Agreed, but the same is unfortunately not always true of business decisions. As the OP has told us not to ask we cannot know why they want to do this. Personally, I think a user's individual password should always be their responsibility; anything else strikes me as insecure. YMMV.

Command #user can change there own password (inside script..without passwd)

HI,
I have prepared one script, from which user can change there own password across all the nodes he wants.But problem is script is not working because the following command is not working
echo -e "$oldPassword\n$newPassword" | passwd
i have tried to run it manually but it is showing the folowing error....
[testuser@xxxxxx01 ~]$ echo -e test\ntest123|passwd
Changing password for user testuser.
Changing password for testuser
(current) UNIX password: passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
[testuser@xxxxxxx01 ~]$
any idea how to resolve this , or is there any other command where user can change their own password (inside a script).
Regards,
Ani

When you change the password and are not root user, the passwd utility will ask for the current (old) password. You have specified a wrong old password, plus the utility will ask for confirmation of the new password.
<pre>
$ passwd
Changing password for user dude.
Changing password for dude.

Users changing their own passwords

we have set up an Open Directory and are going through the steps to deploy. One issue we have yet to find an elegant solution to is user's passwords and changing them on a regular basis. Many of the contracts we deal with stipulate user passwords are to be changed every 45 days.
Now - there is no way we want our users monkeying around in Workgroup Manger changing their own passwords - and the last thing we on the IT team want to do is perform data entry tasks every couple of months to change everyone's password. Plus - for security reasons - this is a terrible idea.
so - is there an easy way to have a user update their password without going through Workgroup Manager?
thanks

And you can set the password lifetime and reset and character-content policies in Server Admin > Open Directory > Policies > Passwords, if you've not already found that set of knobs.
I'd also suggest looking to two-factor or certificate-based approaches, if you're having requirements around password resets.

How to enable a user to change his own password at EP7?

I want to give the EP7 users the ability to change their own password at EP.
Can we do that thru any role assignment or some development is needed?
Any detailed help would be appreciated .
I'll give points. Thanks!

Hi Jones,
It is possible to change their password in EP 7 with eu_role(Everyone Role). After you are login in the portal, just go to your personalize and select the User profile in the personlize. In that user porfile having number of tabs, you should select the General Information and click the Modify button, after you getting the edit mode with the changing the password option. It ask old and new password, after you give the password and save it.Once you change the password, just you have to log off and Re - Login with new password. Its working fine.
I hope this is helps to you.

Force all users to change their Enterprise passwords with a batch operation

Hello,
Do you know if there is a way to force all users to change their Enterprise passwords with a batch operation in the SDK? Is there any implementation done?
Many thanks!
Bea

You can logon to Enterprise as Administrator in your SDK application. Query all users using following query:
select * from ci_systemobjects where si_kind='user'
then loop through the collection InfoObjects returned and cast east object to IUser.
Either call setPasswordToChangeAtNextLogon(true) so that the user logs on next time will be forced to change his\her password. Call commit on InfoObjects collection at the end to save the changes.
Otherwise you can call setNewPassword("new password") to reset password for that user.
Depending upon number of users you can do bath commit. You can use commit(infoObjects,true). The 2nd argument is true for batch commit.

Enable portal users to reset their own password

Dear Forum,
I want our users to be able to reset their own password in our portal solution (NW7.01). I tried to add "pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/general/com.sap.portal.eu_role" but it gives too many options, users should not be able to change their name only password. I thought about changing UME parameters "UME Manage_My_Password
UME Manage_My_Profile" But I am in doubt where to change this in VA. I guess some security settings also apply (lenght, digits, capital letters etc) which should be in the security tab?
I hope someone can elaborate.
Thanks in advance,
Kind Regards,
Soren

Hi Manoj,
UME parameters are in visual admin of the java stack - not sure if this was what you were asking. i was hoping that there was a parameter I could set which would apply a additional button on login screen where you could reset your password, or maybe do it from the portal / personal settings yourself.
I am not much into programming web dynpro tools, so I think ill try to see if I could find a way to enable "forgot your password?" on the login page where you can mail a new password for yourself.
Thanks tho for the link, its much appreciated!
Kind Regards,
Soren

Allowing user to reset their own password in BOXI3 SP3

Is there (a new) possibility to have users reset theri own password in BOXI3.1 SP3
Thansk for any help

I have to refrase my question, I am looking for the possibility to let the USER ask for a new password in case of "password forgotten" (The user is NOT logged on yet)
He/she should then ask via a link for an new password without bothering the BO-user-administration.
This functionality is found on many websites, so I thought : there should be a possibility WITHIN SAB/BO
On BOB I found a document named "Self-Serve Documentation.doc";, may be ther is a easier way ??

OD users resetting their own passwords

Looking for a mechanism whereby OD users can reset their own passwords--specifically users without workstation access.
I am deploying a lot of blog/wiki services to clients. Am finding that I have to generate random passwords for them--would rather push them a temp pw & let them reset on first wiki login, as I can with workstation users.
Any help appreciated.

And you can set the password lifetime and reset and character-content policies in Server Admin > Open Directory > Policies > Passwords, if you've not already found that set of knobs.

Account Operators couldn't reset their own passwords

We have new admin accounts created for the L1 admins and they're supposed to have the ability to unlock accounts, reset user passwords, create, delete and modify groups and membership, manage print servers and add/remove computers to domain.
These admin accounts are part of Account Operators, Print Operators and another security group (delegated in OU level for managing the workstations in the domain like adding/removing).
We're using Windows 2012 R2 Standard.
The issue is the new admin accounts have the ability to perform all their tasks other than resetting their own passwords. Appreciate your response on this as this is creepy and lingering for a week and still couldn't figure out the cause.

They can change their own passwords, but they can't reset them. It's a limitation of the group.
By default, that ability to reset (not change) a password, is reserved for the administrators group or a group delegated with the ability.

User is not able to change his own password... Only DBA can change users password ??

Hi,
I have this problem today.I am using Oracle 8.1.7 on Solaris 2.8
A Oracle user say " SCOTT" trying to change his password but could not.. he gets the followling message
SQL> alter user scott identified by abc123;
alter user scott identified by abc123
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28003: password verification for the specified password failed
Scott's profile has password_verfiy function. Hence i thought abc123 password was not matching with the password verify condition. Surprisingly, what ever password SCOTT tries with, he could get the same error message and could not change his password.. Ultimatly SCOTT could never change his password. How is it possible ??
It is noteworthy to mention that if i give DBA role to SOCTT then he can change his password with abc123 or any thing that satisfies with password verification function.
Now Only a user who has DBA role or a DBA could change passwords..
Can somebody through some light on it and explain what corrective action to be taken so that Users can change their password without DBA's interreption.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Srini

<PRE>
This is the description of the error message:
=============================================================================
ORA-28003 password verification for the specified password failed
Cause: The new password did not meet the necessary complexity specifications
and the PASSWORD_VERIFY_FUNCTION failed.
Action: Enter a different password. Contact the database administrator to find
out the rules for choosing the new password.
=============================================================================
it clearly says that password has to match the complexity specifications. You will not be able
to change password without meeting the complexity requirements.
DBA's can make the change to the password because if DBA's can not change the password, it could lock
you out of the database (all users including the DBA's) and you will not be able to access the
database.
Try removing the password verify function and see if you can then change the password succssfully.
</PRE>
hi Prakash,
The verify password function is standard oracle function and I do not think the current problem is any way related to the rules that were framed in verify password function. The key point here is a user could not change his own password. But a DBA or a user who has ALTER USER system privs.. can do so..

ISE 1.2 Guest portal user cannot change their passwords

I have a WLC 5508(version 7.6) and a server installed the ISE (version 1.2.1.198)，Now we configured the CWA，Use guest portal as an employee and guest login url，We can use the manually create internal user and password successfully logged in, and we set up allow guest users to change password in Multi-Portal, but the user can not change the password in the guest portal ,I suspect the change password option on the Guest Portal actually works? Can anyone tell me how to change their own username password in the guest portal ?

Requiring Guests to Change Password
You can allow or require guest users to change their password after their initial account credentials are created by the sponsor. If guest users change their passwords, sponsors cannot provide guests with their login credentials if they are lost. The sponsor must create a new guest account.
You can either allow guests to change their passwords, or you can require that they do it at expiration and at first login. To require internal users using a guest portal to change their password upon their next login, choose Administration > Identity Management > Identities > Users . Select the specific internal user from the Network Access Users list and enable the change password check box.
Before You Begin
Create a Guest portal or modify the DefaultGuestPortal. This setting is specific to each Guest portal.
Step 1 Choose Administration > Web Portal Management > Settings > Guest > Multi-Portal Configuration.
Step 2 Check the Guest portal to update and click Edit .
Step 3 Click the Operations tab.
Step 4 Check either or both options:
Allow guest users to change password
Require guest users to change password at expiration and first login
Step 5 Click Save .
