Hi,

after reading many posts, i inserted this to my squirrelmail login.php hoping that email users are able to change their password.

<a href = "http://<?=$_SERVER[SERVER_NAME]?>:2222/CMD_CHANGE_EMAIL_PASSWORD">Change Password</a>

the link works. the DA login screen appeared displaying URL https://my-ip:2222/
i tried to login with with this:
email username (with and without domain name)
password: email password
it gave me error: Invalid login. Please verify your Username and Password

my nameserver is still propogating. for the time being i can only access DA through http://my-ip:2222/
will that actually somehonw related to this problem?

thanks a lot.
 
This option works for virtual users' email addresses. Those are the users that have to log into thier webmail with the full email address.

Real unix users (the user accounts you create) cannot change/update thier passwords with this option as it requires more that updating a password in 1 file.

Real unix users must log into the control panel to change thier passwords.

Regards,
 
Would you mind sharing the solution as other people on this forum can bennifit from your experience just like you bennifit from their experience?
 
Hi,

ofcourse. i just changed the http to https and the change password work. if i point the href to http, DA swill show me the normal admin login page not the 4 fields change pasword field. others who is accessing DA with SSL ONLY (like mine, onlyy https access to DA, no http accesss) may want to try this.

https://<?=$_SERVER[SERVER_NAME]?>:2222/CMD_CHANGE_EMAIL_PASSWORD

hope this help.
