Plugins - Change SQL Password
Category: Change password

This plugin allows the user to change their password from the comfort of their webmail interface when it's stored in a SQL database.

This plugin supports passwords that are stored using plaintext, MD5 hash, encrypted MD5 hash, PHP crypt(), and MySQL encrypt() and password() functions.

This plugin also supports forcing users to change passwords on startup, based on a flag set in the user database.

Finally, if you have SSL configured for your web server (mod_ssl/apache_ssl, etc), you can force the passwords to be submitted over an encrypted connection.

Please note that it is possible to enable HTTPS connections for changing passwords or change encryption types only for certain users, domains or service levels by overriding the relevant settings in the Login Manager (vlogin) plugin. Details about which settings to use in Login Manager are given in the configuration file.
