Netscape proxy server authentication -- change user's password

Netscape proxy server authentication -- change user's password

Post by Dr Hu Yuf » Thu, 11 Jan 1996 04:00:00



Just playing with Netscape proxy server 1.1 and got a problem. If we
switch on the proxy server authentication, every user will have to
provide a user name and password to get access through the proxy. The
user name and password are created by admin user initially. My question
is how a user can change his/her password without going through admin user?

Thanks for your information.

Hello, I would like implement this type of authentication on a firewall machine
here. In other words, I want each user to have to authenticate themselves to
the proxy server in order to have access to the web. Does the server
log all URL requests made by a certain user? How does it interface with the
Netscape browser? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry I don't know
the answer to *your* question :)

1. how to change login password as a user to Netscape Enterprise Server?

Hi,

I am upgrading to the Netscape Enterprise Server from the Commerce Server.

In the Commerce Server, there is a script under ../extras/database which
allows the users to change their own login password.  There doesn't seem
to be one for the Netscape Enterprise Server, although the README file
does make references to one (changepw.cgi and the associated .html).

My question is that what is the proper way for users to change their login
password that is associated with their id when going against the
Enterprise Server?  

Another thing, is there a way to age passwords (that is, force password
change once every, say, 30 days).  One more thing, is there a way the server
can track how many attempts were made to log into the webserver, and lockout
the account after, say, 5 incorrect passwords?

I can't find any documentation on this topic in the Administrator's Guide.
Would appreciate any pointers.  TIA.
