Re: Web Interface DemoFrom: Alexi Touloumis Date: Friday, July 17, 1998
Time: 8:10:46 amWell, there's a couple of things to see here...if they change their
password via a web based interface to Optigold, you will be able to go into
Optigold to look at what the new one is at any time. However, just because
they change it in Optigold doesn't mean that will automatically update the
authentication server (ours goes through a BSDI box). So they will think
that they have changed it, and in the billing software they will, but the
actual place it needs to be changed MAY not be changed. The only option is
to have it trigger a script that telnets into the main server to change
their password, but we can't get Optigold to even keep open a telnet
session into the main server yet because of that pause/wait thing.
