Title: Change AD Passwords

This is a great simple example to learn with. You need a script that changes passwords and knowledge on how to extract the info from a submitted form. Both really basic items. Prove how easy it is to spin up an ASP page. :) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Medeiros, Jose Sent: Thursday, October 06, 2005 6:52 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Change AD Passwords Hmm.. Would you have a template asp page for this?   Jose :-)   -------------------------------------------------------------------------------  -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of joe Sent: Thursday, October 06, 2005 3:12 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Change AD Passwords So write an ASP page for IIS and protect it with SSL to do this. You should be able to write the page to whatever requirements you have so it will work on any browser. Send the current and new password over clear text in an SSL protected form and execute the password change. I haven't done something like this in some time but I expect it is still fully doable. The key part is protecting the page with SSL so you don't let passwords out to people sniffing the network.     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jake Stabl Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2005 9:50 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Change AD Passwords Well on a Mac with OS 9 which is really out dated we have no choice but to install Netscape on these computers.  Installing Netscape just for password changing is ludicrous!  There should be a way to do this with any browser.  I work for a school district with 80% of the computers still having OS 9 because of funding issues.   -- Jake   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Douglas M.

Are these all OS X machines? Why not support Safari as the standard browser, or some other common browser that works. Seems crazy to support  a browser that is no longer developed.   Also, is it worth looking for something with automatic password reset? What I mean is, are people really going to supply or do you already have the proper data to fulfill validation of a user? If not, then it would be hard to justify the cost…unless like you said, there is something free out there that does it. In which case I would be interested tooJ         From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jake Stabl Sent: Tuesday, October 04, 2005 3:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; MS-Exchange Admin Issues; ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Change AD Passwords   I know this message has come across this list before but I still don’t have a good solution.  Third party solutions that cost money are fine and FREE is better. I have been looking for some way for users to change their AD passwords from the web.  I have tried to use the built-in method from MS IIS but the .asp script doesn’t work correctly on a Macintosh with IE on it.  Plus not every staff member has access to a PC to change passwords. Also what would be nice is a product that does password change, and forgotten passwords.  This would greatly reduce the amount of service calls.  Also maybe a way to notify these people when their password will expire. The NOS here is Windows 2003 naturally… Thanks -- Jacob Stabl Network Engineer Plain Local School District http://www.plainlocal.org Office:      330.492.3500 Cell :        330.704.1278 IP Phone: 4466
