Disable users ability to change passwords

[jsquizz]

Hi All, have a bit of a strange request.

I am working on a migration - And lots of best practices/basic practices arent being followed.

Currently - users are accessing CMOD via the thick client. They are using ONE account between multiple people which is very bad obviously.

One of their users questioned if its possible to "disable the ability to change passwords"

Our goal is to get them on to LDAP ASAP, so I am not sure if its worth pursuing much - but, I looked all over and I could have swore years ago i saw this setting.

has anybody ever done this?

look in the windows customization guide - There is a flag you can pass to start the client which will disable the change password option.

There's a wiki article for that:

Thanks JD/RJRussel, this will come in handy.

Our client is asking if its possible also to do this within content navigator (until we roll out LDAP and they stop sharing accounts!!)

Thanks

Off the top of my head, not sure.
