Hi,
can you please clarify:
If you want to change the encrypted password for a Apache user have a look at the htpasswd in $APACHE_BIN.
This utiltity can be called from the Apache cgi.
What do you mean by "The user was defined HP-UX /etc/passwd"?
Do you want to reset the UNIX password for the user from the webserver?

[j773303]

YES ! Is it possible reset the UNIX password for the user from the webserver?

Thanks in advanced.

Does anyone has the experience about write a program which can modify the hp-ux user password to integrate with Apache web server ? User can trigger this program in Apache web server, the program such as CGI or others. Is it possible to do this function ? Thanks in advanced.
