To all:

We are having many situations where passwords are being changed (by our Security Group), using htpasswd and after changing them - they are still the old password.

This apparently has been happening intermittently for some time now.

Any thoughts/ideas/suggestions?

Env 8.0.3 ESP6

Thanks in advance,

Sounds like your Apache password file is not writable by the persons running htpasswd - or at least some of them.

There are a couple unix scripts at http://www.schronce.net/lawson that allow endusers to change their own passwords from inside portal - and allow admins to update them as well from a web interface. Take a look.
