Help! changing password (passwd) via web

leonardo bianchi quota — Fri, 16 Jul 2004 13:03:54 GMT

I have a webmail application installed in a DMZ server which use an autentication procedure able to check passwd/shadow on a LAN server using POP3/IMAP(s).
I would like to give users the possibility to change their password via web even if logged on that remote server in DMZ.

At the moment I've only found utility able to change passwords in installed on the same server!

Any idea? Thank you!

Leo

Leo,

if you want central admin of passwords, look at: either NIS or LDAP.. for the enterprise. I do hope you have encrypted messages when chaning pass-words in the DMZ.
