I am looking for help finding a DU/OSF1 password change program.
We have an Oracle client server application currently running on a DEC Alpha
using OSF/1 and using windows clients. The Server side of the application is
written in Microfocus cobol. Security information for this application is
maintained in a unix file. A user must sign on to the application by
entering a unix id and password as well as an application userid and password.
The problem that we face is that the user does not have access to the unix
system and therefore cannot change the unix password. The application allows
changing the application password via a microfocus cobol program residing on
the server.
Does anyone know of any password change programs available that could be
called from the microfocus cobol application password change program to
allow us to keep the unix and application passwords in sync? The program
would update the /etc/passwd file with the users new password.
Is there any other way to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance for any help.
