The original Password Change functionality used HTRs, and there was a buffer
overflow vulnerability in the ISAPI Extension that handled HTRs (ism.dll).
There's a download on the MS Downloads page that substitutes ASP pages:

Change password functionality replaced with Active Server Pages

Cheers

: It appears it is something you can enable. It isn't strictly part of OWA
: but
: the old IIS Password change tool. I recall there being issues with that
: tool
: and that is why they stopped enabling it by default but can't recall what
: they were this late at night or this early in the morning whatever it may

: Thanks for the assist Mom. :)

: Yep, OWA is Outlook Web Access. If you haven't seen it, it is gorgeous in
: Exchange 2003. It looks almost exactly like Outlook. Unfortunately, if
: your
: password is expired (forced or otherwise) you aren't getting into OWA. I
: also don't believe it has a password change function if you just want to
: go
: and change it, but that could be something that could be enabled.
: Alternatively you set up another web page to do it.
:
: As for the OPs original issue. It all comes down to implementation. You
: told
: the system to not allow people to change the password if the password age
: was less than one day and then were confused when it did exactly that. The
: reason for it is that there is one attribute for password age, pwdLastSet,
: and it doesn't distinguish between a helpdesk set operation or a normal
: password change, they are both password changes and you only want one day
: between every change. The proper way to handle that case is to force the
: user's to change their password on next logon (which sets the pwdLastSet
: to
: 0), but as you know, that will kill OWA users. So you either need another
: process to follow for OWA only users, install some third party or custom
: inhouse tool, or drop the minimum password aging.

: Your right Aaron, I didn't know what it meant.!
:
: I am not an outlook sort of person (we use Notes...), but the inferred
: statement surprises me. It suggests that if the "must change password" is
: set, you can't logon to Outlook Web Access.
:
: This would suggest that forcing users to change password after (say) 28
: days
: is also a no-no.
:
: And, it would also suggest that Outlook Web Access won't let you change
: your
: password. If it did, it would surely allow you to logon, then require you
: to
: change the password before you do anything..
:
: This all seems unlikely, given Microsoft's recommended use of forcing
: password changes on a regular basis and forcing users to change a password
: when a new user is created.
:
: If it is all true, maybe you have to provide some way that the users can
: go
: to a Citrix portal and change their password there, then go back and use
: Outlook Web Access.
