Re: method to let user reset their own password

[Albert York <alfromme@xxxxxxxxx>]

Set up a web page on the iSeries, perhaps using a special port. Allow
the user to reset the password or create a new (onetime) password,
which is sent in an email. Log all acttivity, including the IP address
of the person.
