Change Password using Old Password
This document describes how to create a web page to change a users password using the old password.
This section will show how to let users change their password using their old password.
Requirements :
- LDAP must be configured, note the ID of the connection it will be used in later steps.
(in config UI, SCENARIOS -> CONNECTIONS -> LDAP)
Do the following steps in the ADVANCED tab in the Configuration GUI
Step 1 - Authentication - HTTP
Add the following configuration to “Authentication - HTTP”

}Adjust the following settings to match your password policy:
Requires lower case character set this value to true else false- "contains_lowercase": "true",
Requires upper case character set this value to true else false- "contains_uppercase": "true",
Requires special character set this value to true else false - "contains_special": "true",
Requires a number set this value to true else false - "contains_number": "true",
Minimum length of the password , in this example minimum 8 characters- "password_length": "8"
Verify that "nextTarget" on both “cancel_href” and “done_href” values match your requirements.
If needed change nextTarget value see the following example:
"done_href": "/ppss/authenticate/logout/?nextTarget=/ppss/authenticate/changepwdchoice/""done_href": "/ppss/authenticate/logout/?nextTarget=https://www.phenixid.se"Step 2 - Pipes

}Replace the following Pipe settings:
“replace-ldap-ref” with your LDAP connection id, example “731c93fb-f123-403a-9b4f-45720eeed474”
“replace-base_dn” with your “base_dn”, example “DC=phenixid,DC=local”
"replace-ppss-filter_request" with either "sAMAccountName={{request.username}}" if you have Active Directory or "uid={{request.username}}" for other LDAP catalogs
"replace-ppss-filter_session" with either "sAMAccountName={{session.username}}" if you have Active Directory or "uid={{session.username}}" for other LDAP catalogs
"replace-ppss-pwdvalve" with "ADPasswordChangeValve" if you have Active Directory,
for other LDAP catalogs replace with "LDAPModifyValve" and add "modification_type": "REPLACE",
to the config section of the valve
Verify that “filter_template” and “attributes” match your environment.
Make sure that "lockout_login_attempts", "lockout_time" and "lockout_login_window" follows your security policy.
