(RADIATOR) password modification via radiator

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Michael -

How exactly do you want this to work?

Where are the "current" and "different" passwords stored?

You should be able to use cascaded AuthBy clauses for this:

# Realm or Handler

<Handler .....>

	AuthByPolicy ContinueUntilAccept

	<AuthBy ...>
		# check "current" password
		.....
	</AuthBy>

	<AuthBy ...>
		# check "different" password
		.....
	</AuthBy>

</Handler>

hope that helps

regards

Hugh

Have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
