User change your password

[Selmo Andrei]

Hello, I have a question. Is there any access for the user to change his password, without help from the system administrator?

Given the internal laws in the country, I need something similar.
Any way to get it done?

We don't provide such a page but you can write it by yourself. The core code would be like,

<%@include file="include/lib.jsp"%>
<%
UserDao dao = new UserDao();
UserData data = dao.selectOneByName("selmo");

// Set new password.
data.passwd = "passw0rd4selmo";

// Update it.
dao.update(data);
%>

You have to add 'noacl,' prefix to your JSP page for your users to bypass GUI access restriction like 'noacl,chgpasswd.jsp'.

This file has to be included in which directory? I'll try to customize this code with the fields on the screen. Thank you for your help.

JSP files are in /nxfilter/guipack/sandwatch if you use SandWatch GUI. If it's for older versions, /nxfilter/webapps directory.

Changed the code to be simpler. When you use the param value form GET request, use 'paramString()' function.

<%@include file="include/lib.jsp"%>
<%
UserDao dao = new UserDao();
UserData data = dao.selectOneByName("selmo");

// Set new password.
data.passwd = paramString("newPw");

// Update it.
dao.update(data);
%>

With v4.6.4.5, there's a password change for the users created on NxFilter GUI. You can link it as http://your-server-ip/block,password.jsp or http://your-server-ip/password.
