Enabling Users to Change Passwords

How can I enable Messaging Server users to change their own passwords?

If your users are using Communications Express, they can change their password from the Communications Express Options tab.

If you need to use Access Manager to change passwords, you can modify the Access Manager screen to display only the change password option. This has been tested with Java ES 3 and 4, but not with Java ES 5 (Communications Suite 5).

To modify the Access Manager screen:

1. Edit the /etc/opt/SUNWam/config/xml/amUser.xml file.

2. Replace the string 

   any="optional|filter|display"

with 

   any="optional|AdminDisplay"

or 

   any="AdminDisplay"

for any field you don't want regular users to be able to change.

3. Redeploy the Access Manager service: 

cd /opt/SUNWam/bin
./amadmin --runasdn "uid=amadmin,ou=people,o=isp" -w <your admin password> --deleteservice \
iplanetAMUserService
./amadmin --runasdn "uid=amadmin,ou=people,o=isp" -w <your admin password> --schema \
/etc/opt/SUNWam/config/xml/amUser.xml
