Change user passwords remotely

Hi all,

I want to give a access to few users access to particular directory. I know how to use the .htaccess and .htpasswd files.

I can create the passwrord for the users but I want to give them the facility to change their password remotely.

I'm using Apache on Win NT. I have perl. Can u suggest me that will do the trick.

I know about 'user_manage' program but it works only on unix.

Thanx for the comments.

You should be able to call the htpasswd.exe executable through a cgi script.

for instance,

$ht = "c:\program files\apache group\apache\bin\htpasswd.exe";

`$ht $userfile $username $password`;

Of course you have to create the form and the other details.
This is all theory of course, since i have not tried it, but
given that i just ran the htpasswd.exe through the commandline i do not see why you cannot call it through you script as a system call.

Hope this helps and Good luck!
