Change password in @Mail - Reseller Hosting, Shared Hosting, Dedicated Hosting by Vortech Inc.

Why can users not change their password in @Mail? Is this a permanent thing.

***admin*** · #2 03-10-2004, 10:24 AM

Are you talking about once your logged in to @mail?? If so @mail is also designed to have its own "users" and not just pull user info from the other servers. So that link in there is to change a user password if they were in the @mail DB. We might be able to change that link to go to the page H-Sphere has to change email passwords if thats the link your talking about.. I would have to get matt to look at it and see if its something that can be changed very easy.

Yeah, I mean once they are logged into @Mail. There is a link "Change Password" that is just grayed out. I have a customer who asked me about it. It only makes sense to me that an email user should be able to change their password from within @Mail, especially if there is a link for it.

Then we wouldn't have to direct them to the ugly POP3 password screen.

I think even if they change it to link to HSphere, you'll probably still have to use the ugly HSphere form to change passwords.

Ya, I just realized what he was saying. Is there anyway you guys can just change that page?

not sure if anybody knew this either...

on the @mail login, the link for password change goes to 216.157.145.2 and gives the hsphere pass change form

but if you click "enter your mailserver" 1st the link for pass change form changes and goes to 65.57.231.120 which fails

You can't change password in @mail since @mail doesn't store the passwords. I have fixed the link on the "Enter your mailserver" page.

i have created a page which is fully skinned where users can change there password ill post the code up here in a sec. It may still work, i havent checked it recently

hmm seems that its not working atm, will take a look at it shortly and post back

Code:

<%@ LANGUAGE=VBScript %>
<%
strDomain = Right(Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME"), len(Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME"))-8)
If Request.Form("Action") = "Change" Then
strMessage = ChangePassword(Request.Form("mbox") & "@" & strDomain, Request.Form("old_password"), Request.Form("password"), Request.Form("password2"))
End If
Function ChangePassword(emailaddresss, oldpassword, newpassword, confirmpassword)
Dim objXMLHTTP
Set objXMLHTTP = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
strURL = "http://65.57.231.120:8080/psoft/servlet/psoft.hsphere.CP?action=change_mbox_password&ftemplate=design/mail_passw.html&mbox=" & emailaddresss & "&old_password=" & oldpassword & "&password=" & newpassword & "&password2=" & confirmpassword
objXMLHTTP.Open "POST", strURL, False
objXMLHTTP.Send
ChangePassword = "Unspecified Error"
strReturn = objXMLHTTP.responseText
Set objXMLHTTP = Nothing
If Instr(strReturn, "Password successfully changed") Then 
ChangePassword = "Password successfully changed"
ElseIf Instr(strReturn, "Bad old password") Then 
ChangePassword = "Bad old password"
ElseIf Instr(strReturn, "MailBox not found") Then 
ChangePassword = "MailBox not found"
Else 
ChangePassword = strreturn
End If
End Function

Silverbug, do you have that on a page anywhere so everyone can see what it looks like? You know someone is going to ask..

***DigitalSkyline*** · #10 03-10-2004, 04:54 PM

the good old scrape method (works until someone changes the real page.)

http://webmail.sniper.co.nz but like it said it doesnt look like its working atm

***CelticRaven*** · #12 03-10-2004, 09:01 PM

Is it because
strURL = "http://65.57.231.120:8080...

and might need to be 216.157.145.2....?

***Silverbug*** · #13 03-11-2004, 02:55 AM
