Title: RE: [IMail Forum] Imail Administrator changing password

The .dll for use with Oracle was written by one of our customers and so I do not really know how it is structured. I do know that the particular user was not ever going to use the Imail Administrator to do any of the user admin. Just guessing here, but, since the word "password" is the default password used in IMail I would think there is something screwy in the .dll that is causing this. The odbcuser.dll "is" open source for your modification if need be.   Eric S ----- Original Message ----- From: Alonso, Kim To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Wednesday, July 05, 2000 4:43 PM Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Imail Administrator changing password Yes, I am using the ORacle dll provided by your group.  Imail created the table structure but the users were not added through the Imail interface.  However, if I use Imail interface to create the user, save it, exit gui and open the user again, the password changes to password. If the gui for the user is never opened, the password remains the same. -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Donnelly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 05, 2000 9:28 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Imail Administrator changing password Kim, Are you using the dll modified for Oracle, too? Did IMail create the table, or did you? 'Password' is the default, so it almost sounds like IMail thinks the user does not exist and is recreating them. Everything else works OK? I.e. people can login read and send email? Adding a new user works OK and you see the password you entered?
