AW: ***SPAM?***:Re: Password-Tool

Sorry,

here are some more informations.

We force our users to change their database password every 45 days = according to our company rules.
We have implemented the password change mechanism in our own = application. Our problem is that we have many users using ACCESS or = EXCEL via ODBC to connect to the database. ACCESS and EXCEL do not habe = a password change mechanism implemented. The user only get an ORA- error = when connecting to the database.=20

Most of the user just execute pre-defined report or something else. They = can't deal with SQL-Plus. So we are looking for a tool to give the user = the ability to change their password. Ideally this is just an icon to = click on where the user has to specify his ID, old password, new = password und instance.

Best regards,
Michael Fleck=20

Hardie har har. ;)

Michael, I think we'll need some more information about your users' = environment to give recommendations. For example, are they limited to = only using a web browser? Do they have sqlnet/sqlplus on their boxes? = Are you able to push files to their boxes?

For example, if the latter two are true, a quick solution is to push a = simple .bat script that'll prompt for current username/password, new = password, then do the alter user command for them. Maybe not a good = solution, but definitely cheap.
