Allow a user to change their username and password

Featured Replies

Hi all,

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction for this one...

 

When a user with a customised privilege set logs in they are prompted to change their password for the first time of logging in [standard filemaker option].

 

What I'd like the user to be able to do on my layout is have a settings section....

A user could change their username and their password.

 

 

Is this something FM can support? 

 

I've searched about for others achieving a similar thing but have not found anything yet.

 

Any help, as always - is greatly appreciated.

 

Why would you need something like this? You have already (I assume) established a user name and password for them?

Because I have defined the username, and I'd rather let the user do this post giving the user access.

Run a script that does the Change Password script step. This needs to be run with full access privileges, so make sure the option is checked on the script.

 

Doing anything fancier than this usually introduces security vulnerabilities because the password will need to be entered into global fields.

 

If there are a lot of users then look into external authentication.

Thanks Vaughan, your time is appreciated. Best Olly
