Allowing users to

passwords
9-34 Setting Up Authentication
The Sidewinder G2 changepw server allows external users to use a
Web browser to change their Sidewinder G2, SafeWord
PremierAccess, or LDAP login password. The changepw server runs
on the firewall burb, and communicates with other burbs via a proxy.
To allow this process to occur, do the following:
Note: As an administrator, you should inform users how they can change their own
password. See “How users can change their own password” on page 9-36.
1. Enable the changepw server, as follows:
a. In the Admin Console, select Services Configuration -> Servers, and
select changepw from the Servers list.
b. Enable the changepw server by selecting the Enable radio button.
(To disable the server, select the Disable radio button.)
c. Click the Save icon in the upper left portion of the window to save
your changes.
2. Create a changepw-form proxy rule and ensure that it is included in the
active proxy rule group. Table 7-2 summarizes the key settings for this
proxy rule. Refer to “Creating proxy rules” on page 7-4 for details on
using the Admin Console to create a proxy rule.
Note: Before creating the proxy rule, you may need to create the network objects
that will be specified in the Destination and Redirect Host fields. In particular, make
sure the network object representing the localhost address of the firewall burb
(127.0.0.1) is created.
