Change Password URL

[jterhune]

I was hoping someone could tell me a method to change the URL that zimbra points to when a user clicks "Change Password"

It looks like this process is handled by the following:

// Popup the change password dialog.
ZmPreferencesPage.prototype._changePasswordListener =
function(ev) {
        var url = appCtxt.get(ZmSetting.CHANGE_PASSWORD_URL);
        if (!url) {
                url = appCtxt.get(ZmSetting.PUBLIC_URL) + "/h/changepass";
        }
        if (!url) {
                var isHttp      = appCtxt.get(ZmSetting.PROTOCOL_MODE) == ZmSetting.PROTO_HTTP;
                var proto       = isHttp ? ZmSetting.PROTO_HTTP : ZmSetting.PROTO_HTTPS;
                var port        = appCtxt.get(isHttp ? ZmSetting.HTTP_PORT : ZmSetting.HTTPS_PORT);
                url                     = AjxUtil.formatUrl({protocol:proto, port:port, path:"/zimbra/h/changepass", qsReset:true});
        }
        var args  = "height=465,width=705,location=no,menubar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=no,status=yes,toolbar=no";
        window.open(url, "_blank", args);
};

We have a web portal that enables our users to change passwords, reset locked accounts, etc. We would like to use this page to manage password changes, but I can't seem to figure out how to change ZmSetting.CHANGE_PASSWORD_URL.

Anyone have any advice?

very simple..just happen to do this the other day thanks to mmorse

zmprov md domain.com zimbraPublicServiceHostname mail.domain.com

where mail.domain.com is the ZmSetting.PUBLIC_URL


cheers

I'm not sure if that will work for me. From what I read about zimbraPublicServiceHostname is that it will change REST URLs for briefcase, document, calendar, etc.

The site I want "Change Password" to point to is an entirely separate server from our Zimbra install (it just handles password resets for Active Directory). If I set zimbraPublicServiceHostname as that server name, won't it break ann the services that get rewritten to that URL?

then your best bet is to directly modify the page itself.

/opt/zimbra/jetty-6.1.5/webapps/zimbra/h/changepass

its a simple JSP page..you can simply redirect it or put your code directly in it.

* it will fail the upgardes and in new version this page may not be used at all.

Just set zimbraChangePasswordURL in globalconfig or on the domain. No need to set zimbraPublicHostname or modify the JSP pages. This was introduced in 5.0.12
