enabling users to change their password

[rodmac]

Has anyone come across a way to allow users to change their own passwords once they have logged in. I am using the user manager built in to the Abyss console to grant certain people access to different areas of my site which means I have to assign their password but I would like them to be able to change it.

I've tried a few user management type scripts/packages but most of them would require me to rearrange my files, or add headers etc.

rodmac,

The integrated password protection system is only controllable through the console. We are aware of that limitation and are working on a better system for the future releases.

As a workaround, it is always possible to have your password changing script update the abyss.conf file (it's a plain XML file). We have provided on the foru (in the past) some proof of concepts and code you could use to help you do that.

Otherwise, the best to do is to use an external password protection system backed by a database. This will of course require that you alter your scripts slightly to have them check the credentials of visitors before showing their actual content.
