TOPIC: Change password at next logon for VMS

Re:Change password at next logon for VMS 1 Year, 6 Months ago  
This is still a work in progress, so thanks for trying it out. Can you please send me screen snapshots of what you're seeing, starting with the login dialog and each dialog you see after that.

I have trouble testing this myself because OpenSSH (my test server) does not work the same way as your VMS SSH. VMS borrows from FSecure SSH which works a little different in this regard. Your server is making use of some SSH features that allow for password change requests as part of the SSH login. Openssh, on the other hand, will authenticate the session, then force a password change at the session level using 'passwd'.

Stick with me on this and we'll get it licked.

Thank you for your patience.

Just to clarify and make sure we're on the same page.... On the dialog that says 'your password has expired', in the first password field you have to re-type your OLD password. In the second field, you pick a NEW password. This may not be immediately obvious and could possibly be labeled better.

Are you sure you are re-typing your original password in the first field?

If you *still* get a failure after entering the old/new password, could you click on the 'view log' button and mail the contents to me?

Also, it seems that the expiration message has been truncated.... sloppy....

Attached is what I get no matter how long my new password. I do not find a "View Log Button".
