self-service password management

[standtz]

Has anyone seen this link on providing a self-service password management for sharepoint services?

Specifically, has anyone gotten it to work? Do I need a SSL server? I just can't seem to get it to work for me...

Hello,

Looking at the instructions on the page you linked to in your post, it says:

"3. Configure the PasswordChangeFlags property in the metabase to make sure that the Password Change functionality is enabled.

Note: 0 = This value indicates that you must use a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection when you change the password."

So Yes, you need to run SSL. There might be another flag that can be set which sets it not to be run over SSL, but that is ofcourse less secure.

I already changed the passwordchangeflag to "1"(1 indicates that changing is allowed on nonsecure ports). Still no go.....

Hello,

What kind of errors do you get?
How far do you get when you try to use it?
