Hi,
I'd like to create a web page for changing my password; the form would be
trivial:
Username:
Password:
New Password:
Verify New Password:
Thing is, I can't use Runtime.getRuntime().exec(),
because it would need root privilege to "run" the containing object. So I
think executing "passwd" is not a good choice (anybody can change
anybody's password). I'm thinking about including PAM library to the
object, so that anyone can use the form and get authenticated via PAM; if
everything is okay, then the password would be changed. Question is: By
using Sun's JAAS, can my objects talk to my system's PAM module (or, is it
PA module :-)? I'm currently downloading JDK 1.3. Sun tells me that JAAS
needs JDK 1.3.
BTW, how difficult is it to add PAM support in Turbine?
Thanks in advance,
Oki
