Modifying a password

This feature is enabled only when the authentication mechanism is Local. When the authentication mechanism is LDAP, the user must change his password in LDAP.

Each user and administrator can change his or her password using the following procedure:

1.In the Navigation tree, click User Details.

The User Details fields appear in the content pane, with the current user contact information pre-populated.

2.Click the Change Password button.

The Change Password dialog box appears.

3.Enter the current password into the Old Password field, then type the new password into both the New Password and Confirm New Password fields.

Characters are displayed as asterisks (*).

4.Click the Change button.

If the passwords typed in the New Password and Confirm New Password fields are not the same, an error dialog box appears.

Click the OK button to continue, and retry the previous step.

If the information meets the criteria and both New Password and Confirm New Password fields match, the Success dialog box appears. Click the OK button to continue.
