Re: Comparing passwords
Alton, I think the feature only returns an error or no message at all. I think it was only intended to be used for an application to prompt the USER to re-authenticate and NOT as a way to let administrators brute force the users password. :) Now... as strange as this sounds... it might do what you want it to do. But it is not as easy as a single active link action. :( If you could create a Join (or a view) form that would map the 'Login Name' to a value that only you would know (maybe the 'Request ID' value out of the User form?) and the 'Group List' to null and the license type to 'Read Restricted' then you might be able to set up a "shadow user account" that would use the same users password, but be an account that the user would never know about or use. . Then you could use an ARS API client to login (via a $PROCESS$ command call on the ARS server) and test the value. If the login works your API client could report "OK", or if it fails then it could report "BAD". Active links can look at the results and "do the right thing. Like I said, more involved, but it just might be possible. :) -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap Pick two.
