Has anyone implemented a way to allow users to change their passwords through TeamSite? I'm using Active Directory within our company to store user info and I'm finding that their is no mechanism to allow a client to change their password. This is not a problem for our internal users, but presents a *major* problem for those that are external and won't have access to our domain. Especially when a users password expires. The user cannot authenticate.

My only thought was to run a scheduled job every night to send an e-mail notification to users that are about to have their password expire. Then in TeamSite create a custom menu that would allow them to change their password in AD.

Any other suggestions?

    we have implemented a similar thing..i have put a link on the the initial screen which comes up for TeamSite login.This link then opens a new window where the user can change his password.
    We downloaded software from passwordmanager.com.
    Its easy to use..a .dll, an asp and a simple form which the user fills to change the password..
    I havent used it when a users password expires..but you can think in that direction..i guess..

    hope this helped

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'm probably going to just add a password/user management feature on the login page which is built with JSP. Although I'm an ASP developer, I've hit a roadblock in that that users will not be able to access IIS directly (on Port 81) because of firewall limitations. I will have to the management application served from Apache on Port 80.

    This is where the JSP comes into play. I suppose I'll just write a COM component do the user manipulation and call it from a JAVA wrapper (or a bean that can manipulate AD). I haven't done this before, but it can't be to difficult.

    I'm hoping that Microsoft releases a final version of J#. Then I could utilize the OpenAPI directly without wrapping. At least I think I could. It would be nice to expose the functionality of OpenAPI from custom J# applications.
