Question

Allow local users to change password

Is it possible to allow local users that use SSL VPN to change their own password?

I've tried through the SSLVPN web portal but it doesn't give me an option. I don't want to buy Forti Authenticator just for that.

I found some documents on how to create a password policy to force the change every X amount of days but now how to allow the users to change it themselves.

to me this is a feature that should already be there.

I need to allow local users to change their password after login.

I'll assign them a generic password for the first login and then force a password change after they connect.

Hi,

 

i ran into this too - local users for VPN access, generic passwords to begin with

and a customer wish, to have them force change the password on first logon.

 

Any luck getting this solved?
