Chapter 5. Password Control User Profile Plug-in

The Password Control User Profile Plug-in is an optional plug-in that requires the Password Control System Plug-in to work.  It should work with the system plug-in releases 0.0.3 and above.

Installation is using the same mechanism as described above for the System Plugin, with the obvious difference in Plugin name.

This Password Control User Plug-in provides some additional options for the site administrator.

It can be configured to provide the following features:

  1. The profile summary presented to the user when then look at their profile can optionally display the details of their last and next scheduled password change. Either, both or none can be configured for display.  Note that the user is not presented with the detail, if they choose to edit their profile.  It is not desirable that a user could edit their next password change date.

  2. The details of the last and next password changes can also be configured for display in the back end user edit as well.  The last password change is a display only option, where as the next password change may optionally be edited in the back end by the administrator

  3. Setting the next password change date in the back end user edit will update the details for the user, but note that depending upon the configuration of the Password Control system plug-in parameters, this setting may or may not be used.  See notes below for more details.
