Password change and Integrated Windows authentication

When Integrated Windows Authentication is selected, FH Web Edition relies on the operating system of the client to change passwords.

Example: FH Web Edition supports the following scenario:

  1. The administrator edits a user's settings and selects User must change password at next logon.

    The user is prompted to change his or her password the next time they log in.

  2. The user changes the password and signs in to the client computer.

  3. The user starts the FH Web Edition client and connects to a FH Web Edition server.

    The password has already been changed, so the user is authenticated on the host without being prompted for a password, unless the cache passwords on the host option is enabled. In this case, the user is prompted to enter a new password.

    If, however, the administrator selects User must change password at next logon after the user has logged on to the client computer, and the user subsequently connects to a FH Web Edition server that has Integrated Windows authentication enabled, authentication may fail. If it fails and both Integrated Windows Authentication and Cache passwords on the host are enabled, the user is prompted to sign in and make a password change.

Tip: In the FH Web Edition Connection Manager’s dialog boxes, you can access Help by right-clicking an item, and then choosing What’s This?. A pop-up window appears, containing a brief explanation of the item. You can also access Help by clicking the Help icon  on the title bar of a dialog box, and then selecting an item.
