Topic: Changing User Password

[Uncle]

I'm busy using SME 7 and so far everything is awesome except for changing user passwords externally. I'm running SME on a local network but I want to be able to change my password remotely. I have a web domain and all those things set up already but I can't access http://mydomain/user-passwords externally.

Is there some way of setting this up or can I do it programmatically through my domain's web site somehow? I don't know anything about how passwords are stored on SME but any shoves in the right direction would be really appreciated.

Only accessible from the local network. You need to use VPN or a tunnel via Putty to connect to the local network first.

Alternatively add remote host static IPs in the Remote Management panel, but this will also allow access to server manager.

Hmmm. Okay, so in other words it is possible but you really shouldn't do it 

Thanks for the info!

It is OK to allow users to change passwords, but the default sme server security policy prevents access to the URL from external networks.
It's up to you to choose if and how if you want to allow/implement this, keeping in mind the user & security ramifications.
