Thanks for the thoughts guys BUT, we've already had a 3rd party dev code the whole new account maintenance system. It relies on the passwords being changed from one of our interfaces. We actually are using a SQL back-end, but changing our logic to push password changes from IMail out would require more time and work than I want to devote to it. I'd rather change the IMail side. We don't need to integrate our interface into IMail Webmail, but just remove the password change that's there and put a link to our URL.
Even a few pointers and I could probably have the person who wrote the rest of the interface for us, modify the IMail code. She did it all in ASP.NET 2.0, so should be able to figure out the IMail code with a little help I think. But if someone else has already done something similar and would be willing to share, I'd be oh so very grateful too!!! Is this something I should contact Ipswitch support on do you think?

I might suggest that you try to sync the passwords on the back-end. You can take this one domain and use a database instead of IMail's registry to manage the user data, and then you can take the plain-text passwords from the database and sync those with whatever other resources you wish to have. That is likely the simplest way and it wouldn't require hacking the interface at all. All your work would be on the back-end. Matt Jared Pickerell wrote: I am needing to replace the standard "change password" function of the preferences page, but only for one domain. Instead of the option of typing your password twice and submitting, I am needed to put a link to an external "password change" page that changes a users password in multiple systems. Is this type of customization possible with using the "branding" folder and domain.com subfolder with the branding.config file? If so how could this be done? If not with branding.config then how could I do this with the directly modifying the aspx files (remembering that I only need this for one domain name)? Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!!!!
