View Full Version : Change login password with WebAccess

Users logged into a WebAccess TWA session need the ability to change their WM password from within the WebInterface.
Example:
A new WM user (e.g. in the U.S. or Asia-Pacific) is assigned a default password from the sysadmin in Germany (the one using a WM classic admin client).
The sysadmin asks him (via eMail) to change this default password to something different.

As the WebUser does not have access to a classic client, he has no ability to change the default password to a password of his own choice.

Please note that we do not plan to use external authentication for WebUsers.

We therefore would like to ask if there already exists some (unsupported) solution to this problem. Otherwise we would have to implement such ourselves.

Thank you !

I had been given a useful hint from CoCreate support in Sifi (maku):

The basic capability of changing a password has been implemented into WebAccess 11.60, but not into TWA.

So I have played with it a little bit, and found some possible solution.

Attached please find a ZIP file containing
- install.html
Installation documentation
- change_password.m
The macro code (required for WA <11.60)

Feel free to download it.

Please note: This stuff is not supported !!!
