Hi Norm, This application has an option in which you can use LDAP so that the application authenticates against the windows password for the user. But the users who don’t have a windows account in our Active Directory can still enter the application with their Oracle account and password. So far so good for the users in the other active directory who wants to login in the application. But due to an oversight of the developers, if you activate LDAP you cannot change your password anymore for Oracle. The functions for that in the application are disabled. And we don’t want to go back to the non LDAP situation, because one password for almost all applications is a good thing (there is profile on the Windows environment about changing passwords and such). I can change the passwords for the users as Administrator, but that is not doable for obvious reasons. So I thought, if we build an website who has an Oracle connection, then you can write functions to change the password, while authenticating the old password and such for the users that could not use windows-authenticating.
