Tony Hill Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Hi I have just converted my single file solution to a Separation Model and the first interesting challenge is the accounts and passwords. I have 5 different access groups (privilege sets) and am happy with the handling of these. I have an accounts table and can control changes to privileges and passwords through that but I do not see a way to prevent the user from changing his password at the login screen. If he changes it in the Interface table then the backend will be out of step. I thought the tab in privileges might hide the change password button but it doesn't. I feel sure I am missing something here. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Disable the ability for users to change their passwords. Either that or: use external authentication; or un-separate the files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven H. Blackwell Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Vaughan's suggestion about external server authentication is an excellent one. Your situation is one of the principal reason that feature is in the product: multiple accounts and multiple files. That scenario is much easier to manage externally. Also, I'd be very careful about those "accounts table" privileges. You might to take a look at this article. Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
