Actually,
Something does happen
1. password screen is presented
2. you enter id that is has expired password
3. You get the lovely Error 401 (as if you pressed cancel on the password box)
What I did is create a unsecured area for the index.html only, secured area
for all the rest. This allows you to provide some assistance to the
'frustrated user' like giving them the 1-800-IHATEPASSWORDS number to call.
Secondly, I start reminding users on the validated pages that they should
change their password if it will expire soon.
You can:
determine when the password will expire with the IBM security API
change your password once you are validated to the system with the IBM
security API
You cannot
do anything but call the help desk once your password expires (because
you cannot get to validated status)
If you come up with a different solution PLEASE, PLEASE let me know.

Is there a way to tell if the password is expired other than letting the
user sit there starring at their browser waiting for something to happen,
but nothing ever will because they are expired?

Let me know if you find anything,
I am using the API's to change a password, but once the password is expired
it's a 'call the helpdesk' solution.

Folks:
Does anyone know of a web based password change system available for the
400? Commercial, shareware, or open source are all find.
I'm basically looking for a stand alone system to allow users to change
their AS400 password (even after their current password has expired) via the
web.
Thanks!
david
