Changing a User's Password

As discussed earlier the administrator has the ability to change a users password from the WebTool. To increase security, the WebTool does not allow any user but the administrator access to those sections of the WebTool. To allow a user to change their own password themselves, a separate URL is provided. By going to:

https://myserver.com:1022

• [NOTE:]The address is very similar to the regular WebTool but notice the port you are connecting to. The port 1023 is used for the WebTool, while 1022 is the user password utility, as in the example above.

If the default Guardian Digital certificate still remains on the system the user will be prompted to accept it. Instructions on accepting a certificate can be found in Appendix Appendix - Certificates.

Once the user successfully logs in to the system using their own login name and password, they will be given the options to either change their password or their secure shell (SSH) key.
