Hi,
I would like my users to be able to change their passwords using a web
form. I am currently running DU4.0D with enhanced security. I tried to
use the sia call (sia_chg_password), but couldn't figure it out. It seems
that it wants to be interactive and send prompts to the screen. So, I am
trying to update the auth files directly (getprpwnam,putprpwnam). I call
acceptable_password to check the new password. I also manually check the
new password against the pwdict passwords, so old passwords cannot be
reused. My questions are:
Has anyone else allowed users to change passwords via the web? How did you
implement it?
Can anyone give me a clue as to how to use the sia routines via the web?
Can acceptable_password check the passwords in pwdict?
