a few User and password issues
« on: September 24, 2006, 02:52:49 PM »
Hi,

I have a few questions with the users passwords on my sme 7 server.

User issues
When creating a user does it automaticly set up a "home" location. basicly a storage space for each user that no other user can access and if so where this is created?

Password issues
1) Is it possible to when adding a new user to automaticly set a default password.
2) Is it possible to request the user change there password from that default password to there own on the first login.
3) Is it possible to set an expiry date to the users password and ensure they change it every x months and that they cannot use the same password twice within 5 changes.
4) How can i change the security on the password as default i suppose it is at lower/upper/number/non-alphanumeric/7 charactors long. I actually want a min of lower/number/6 charactors long

Thanks for your help in advance

Not default features of sme server. You could probably create the code if you new how or pay someone like Gordon Rowell to develop the feature.
