[Zope] change user password

[Marinussen, M.J. (Ria)]

Hi Eddy,

I  had a similar question a while ago, and with some help from this list
I managed to produce a pythonscript to do this very thing.
People who are logged on can change their own password with it.
You need a form in which they can type the new password (and confirm
it).
Processing can be done with this script:

=========
# Parameter List: new_password, new_password_confirm ==== # get name,
roles and domain from currently logged on user user =
_.SecurityGetUser() name = user.getUserName() roles = user.getRoles()
domains = user.getDomains()

# Test whether the user of this script is logged on # if user is not
logged in, do nothing, else change password.
if name == "Anonymous User":
 return
else:
 # get userfolder
 userfolder = getattr(context, 'acl_users')  # take password and
confirmation from password and info from logged on user and put in
dictionary  user_info = { 'name' : name,
               'password' : new_password,
               'confirm' : new_password_confirm,
               'roles' : roles,
               'domains' : domains
              }
 userfolder.manage_users(submit='Change', REQUEST=user_info)

return

==============

Good luck with it!
