IWP and changing user passwords

Featured Replies

  • Newbies

Apologies if this is a "dumb question" but I can't find any information and I'm banging my head against the wall. While I'm OK with many aspects of Filemaker, I'm not too familiar with scripts.

I have a database (FM Pro Advanced 11 on an iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6, although other office machines are still running FM Pro 9) which has been published with IWP.

A group of users (outside the office) are going to access it via a VPN.

Their FM database user accounts are set to read only.

However, I need for them to be able to change their own passwords through the IWP interface, so I need some sort of script button.

Documentation differs as to whether the "change password" script works under IWP.

Nothing seems to work using either the Change Password script or the Reset Account Password.

Any suggestions as to how to make this work?

I've played with a custom script so that it can operate with full control permissions, but I'm getting nowhere.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated!

setup 2 fields, old password and new password and use the scrip step

change password..[]

Thank you!

Plus a step to clear the fields afterwards, a confirmation layout and continue!

Working beautifully now.
