Password management for captive accounts

Nicolau Roca — Thu, 23 Nov 2006 08:03:42 GMT

Hello

How can the owner of a captive account change his password?

I'm trying something like this in the login command procedure (LGICMD)

$ if f$mode() .nes. "INTERACTIVE" then $logout
$ read/prompt="Option: " sys$command option
$ if option.eqs."1"
$ then
$ set password
$ logout
$ else
$ logout
$ endif

but "set password" doesn't work in command mode :(

What am I missing?

Hi Nicolau

Its working, when you do the following:

$ DEFINE/USER SYS$INPUT SYS$COMMAND
$ SET PASSWORD

Hope that helps

Heinz
