Hello!
Being an administrator for an ISP I've always had many clients
requesting some Web interface for changing passwords. I guess with
SSL it would be secure enough. And anyway, clients don't have too many
rights or privilages on my machines so I don't really care. I could
not, however, find any way to make something like that possible. I
talked to Microsoft about it and they said it's impossible to implement
such interface as NT security system is designed in the way that won't
allow such thing! Well, I thought they knew what they were saying and
got convinced. Lately however I've been shocked to find that a fellow
admin wrote some short program to perform exactly what I need. =
Unfortunatelly he's working for our No 1 competitor in this city, so he
won't share it with me. :)
Does anybody have any idea how it could be done?
Thanx
Piotr
