Changing user password for Livelink Authentication

Mahmoud_Dayeh_(ecead_mad_-_(deleted))

I am running Livelink Directory Services on a Livelink 9.1 SP2 with Workflow 4.0 Installation. I have applied the latest Feb 2005 Patch as well. We have both modes of Authentication for users i.e. Livelink Authentication and Windows Authentication(NTLM)To achieve the same, we have 2 different virtual directory mappings, where in 1 set has Windows Authentication enabled in the Directory security of IIS The following are the issues encountered 1) Logout link disappears in Livelink. I understand that it is meaningless to have logout for directory services authetication however the livelink authenticated users should have a logout 2) Change Password. again the password is controlled by Windows for windows authentication hence it is justified for these users but the normal livelink autheticated users are unable to change the passwords as it gives 'current password is incorrect' error Is there any resolution for the above ?

Message from Chris Wagg via eLinkThe logout link is removed by Directory Services, this can't be changedwith standard Livelink and Directory Services, but you should be able tocustomise it to bring the link back.The problem you are having with changing passwords is a bit morecomplicated, as there are a number of things that could be happeninghere. Most likely, it is that you are either synchronising all of yourusers, or none of your users. To have authenticated and nonauthenticated users, the ones that use DS authentication should besynchronised users, and those that do not use DS authenitcation shouldbe entered manually. By doing this, you can differentiate between thesesets of users. Now, when you reset passwords, you can do so forDirectory Services users only. That way the non-DS users' passwordswon't get set to hidden.If this is not the cause of your problem, I would recommend opening aticket for this issue.Chris-----Original Message-----From: eLink Discussion: Livelink Directory Services Discussion[mailto:directoryservices@elinkkc.opentext.com] Sent: Sunday, April 03, 2005 11:48 AMTo: eLink RecipientSubject: Changing user password for Livelink AuthenticationChanging user password for Livelink Authentication Posted by Dayeh,Mahmoud on 04/03/2005 11:45 AMI am running Livelink Directory Services on a Livelink 9.1 SP2 withWorkflow 4.0 Installation.
