User interface for password change

[Adnan]

Hi there,
Is there any interface in FreeNAS for changing the user password (not logged in as root)?

What I want is the ability of every user to change their password, not from the root login.

Are you running FreeNas as an Active Directory Controller or just stand alone?

I know it would be possible if this is Active Directory Controller but I'm running it as Stand Alone.

Off the top of my head, I don't think there is an actual interface for other Users to do this. I would suggest the "Net User" command, but don't think that would work since FN is not running as a DC (in your environment). Only other thing I could think of is if they were able to SSH in (say via Putty) and change their password that way. But, I have not tried/verified this personally.

Guess in the end, if you really want this type of Control/Administration you are looking at needing some type of DC; whether that is with FN acting as the DC or there being another system as a DC.

This should be available on FreeNAS 10 once it's released, in principle.

Thank you all. I understand.
