Changing your password using the IBM Telephone Directory V5.2 application
You can change your password if the application administrator allows users to update their own directory entries.
To change your password, perform the following steps:
Setting passwords
When you (the user) set the password for an entry that does not currently
have a password, you only need to provide the new password and
the confirm password. You do not need to provide the current password (because
there isn't one). The IBM Telephone Directory V5.2 application uses your credentials
(the user ID and password you specify to log in) to set the entry's new password.
If you are not authorized to set the password field for the entry, this operation
fails.
Changing passwords
When you (the user) change the password for an entry that already has a password, you must provide the current password, the new password, and the confirm password. The IBM Telephone Directory V5.2 application uses the credentials you supply (the current password) to change the entry's password. You use the entry's authority to change the password, not your own (unless you are changing your own password). If you do not provide the current password, this operation fails.
Note: Authority settings are defined and controlled by
directory server Access Control Lists (ACLs), not by the IBM Telephone
Directory V5.2 application.
