kopano-webapp-passwd

The Passwd plugin allows the user to change the current user password inside of WebApp.

This plugin is largely based on the Passwd plugin by Andreas Brodowski. For his original work check this link The original plugin is a fork of zarafa-webapp-passwd link written by Saket Patel This plugin (version 1.6) is a fork of zarafa-webapp-passwd version 1.5 link written by 'dducret' with minimal changes.

Background version 1.6

Two years ago the kopano development team decided to remove 'remove unused mapi_zarafa_* privileged user functions' from the kopano code. link Unfortunately the kopano-webapp-passwd plugin did use the 'mapi_zarafa_setuser' function for setting the new password for the user, so the plugin stopped working. Version 1.6 do use an external call to the 'kopano-passwd' tool for setting the password.

Security warning!

Make sure that there are no users other than members of your kopano admin team authorised on the kopano server running the webapp-passwd plugin. The webapp calls the kopano-passwd program with cleartext and even a 'normal' unix user might find ways to read the commands from the internal process table!
