Hi!

Following situation: i created a kinda "demo"-account, so any of my user
can login and see how scalix works etc.

But i want to permit them to change the password of this demoaccount from swa -
how can i do it?


Thanks!

wow, not a simple one.

we currently don't provide per-user password change controls.

However, as we use PAM for authentication, you might want to setup your /var/opt/scalix/sys/pam.d/ual.remote PAM configuration file in such a way that the "password" section uses the Linux standard "pam_listfile" module and denies the password change request, when the listed user tries to do it.

Hope this helps,
Florian.

Thanks!

It worked!

Would you be willing to document this in detail for the benefit of the community? at best, please add it to the playground part of the scalix wiki (www.scalix.com/wiki) and i'll link it in as a contributed how-to thereafter.

Thanks!

sure

I don't suppose you could paste the change to /var/opt/scalix/sys/pam.d in here, I've got the exact same requirement from a client to deny certain users permission to change passwords.

Thanks in advance!
