Automating repetitive user administrative tasks

We have an application that is using Oracle user-ids and passwords for authentication and restrictions. I am looking for a secured, selective, user-interface way of unlocking, resetting and expiring passwords so the DBA staff can offload this rather mundane but frequent requests. I would like to do it through an oracle stored procedure where the user-id and password would be provided by a authorized user and the stored procedure would unlock, change the password, and expire the user.

Is this possible or is it much easier to use a Unix script?

Thanks in advance for the suggestions!!!
