cpanel password extension - no CPanel pw reqd

[nicholak]

I extended the password plugin to allow users to change their password without the need for the CPanel admininstrator credentials in the config file - didn't like that idea.

Here is the package containing 2 files: a new config default file, and a new driver file - just unpack into /plugins/password and then configure the "cpaneluserauth" parameters.

This doesn't seem to work for me. I receive the error:
Could not save new password.

It does seem to properly check the existing password however.

Try this one: http://www.roundcubeforum.net/7-third-party-contributions/46-api-based-plugins/6019-cpanel-password-plugin-update.html

The default change password plugin doesn't seem to run properly with cPanel.  And the above cPanel password change like is no longer valid.  :--)

[SKaero]

The password plugin that comes with Roundcube should work fine with cPanel, the plugin that was talked about here most likely no longer works.

[ElasticUser]

When I test changing a password, it basically says unable to change password.  :--)

[SKaero]

Have you read the README file and configured it to work with your cpanel account?

[ElasticUser]

I added the below code and it said success when I tested changing a password, but when I logged out and back in, it only logs in with the original password;  Any suggestions?  :--)

// See README file for list of supported driver names.
$config['password_driver'] = 'chpasswd';

[SKaero]

If your using cPanel the chpasswd driver wouldn't work.

[ElasticUser]

I also tested the below code, but nothing seemed to happen.

// See README file for list of supported driver names.
$config['password_driver'] = 'cpanel';

[SKaero]

You also need to read the section for the password driver your attempting to use, most require additional steps and configurations.

Below is all the code that cpanel.php has.  I doesn't see to say to change any of it.  :--)

<?php

/**
* cPanel Password Driver
*
* Driver that adds functionality to change the users cPanel password.
* Originally written by Fulvio Venturelli <[email protected]>
*
* Completely rewritten using the cPanel API2 call Email::passwdpop
* as opposed to the original coding against the UI, which is a fragile method that
* makes the driver to always return a failure message for any language other than English
* see http://trac.roundcube.net/ticket/1487015
*
* This driver has been tested with o2switch hosting and seems to work fine.

Its in the README file in the password plugin folder, there is a section for each password driver.

[ElasticUser]

I still don't appear to be cating on to all the README steps for the password plugin.  I might have a friend look at that.  :--)

[ElasticUser]

I techie friend of mine looked at the pw plugin, and it was also over his head.  :--)
