If you want to allow users to
change their own password, they must have the right to read and
update records in a number of Authorizer tables. To permit this,
you must create a special user group for the Authorizer application
that contains those users.
To authorize users to change
their own password:
| 1.
|
In the USoft Authorizer, choose User Groups from the Define
menu. In the User Groups window, add a new user group (e.g.
AUTH_PWD) for the USAUTH application. This new user group must have
the same Menu Page and Deployment configuration settings as the
USAUTH user group. |
| 2.
|
On the Members tab page, add the members of this user
group. |
| 3.
|
Click the Authorize Button. A wizard will appear to help you
specify the authorization for this group. |
|
·
|
Set USAUTH as the Application |
|
·
|
Set AUTH_PWD as the User Group |
|
·
|
Set Select for the Access Rights. |
The users of this user group
are now allowed to query the tables of the Authorizer.
| 4.
|
On the Table Rights tab page, add one right on the T_AUTH_USER
table, that has 'Update' Right, 'Foreground and Background'
Scope. |
| 5.
|
From the Define Menu of the Authorizer, choose Conditions. The
Restricting Conditions window appears. Add a new record with the
following condition text: |
USERNAME=USER
| 6.
|
Commit. An identifier for the condition is automatically
added. |
| 7.
|
In the Table Rights tab page of the User Groups window, add
this identifier to the Condition ID columns (both foreground and
background) of your new table Right, and commit. |
| 8.
|
In the Restricting Conditions window, click the Check button.
The Correct check box should now automatically be checked. |
| 9.
|
Click the Update button in your new User Group. Check the From
Conceptual File check box and fill in the path to the USAUTH.con
file. |
The users in this user group
now have the right to read the Authorizer table, and to update
their own password.
NOTE:
If you wish to add rules to password management, for example:
all passwords must be longer than 5 characters, you must use the
PWDCredentials table component.
