Title: User's corner non existant
Post by: alecaru on July 19, 2014, 03:50:17 pm: Good morning;
I'd like to let the users to change their password, but on Zentyal 3.5 I cannot find the User's Corner option anywhere, neither the module to install.
Please help!

Post by: artera on July 21, 2014, 06:09:59 pm: Hi all, I cannot find the section where to set the "mail retrieval from external account". By removing the user's corner, I have lost the possibility to set that option! Thank you guys!

crtl+alt+del change password

What about Zentyal configurations that aren't running as a domain controller? I.e., POP/IMAP only systems?

Post by: StuartNaylor on July 21, 2014, 07:54:28 pm: Don't think you can have pop/imap without users which is part of samba4

Thinking about it I guess I understand what you mean that you would have a server that isn't an PDC or ADC.

Even though its already there as a DC.

Its a good question I suppose but Zentyal is supposed to be a M$ SBS replacement and it wouldn't be the norm.

Post by: 1baud on August 05, 2014, 07:32:54 am: I feel your pain @ alecaru. I have users that login to retrieve and send mail or access to owncloud. They have to contact me for a password change.. Plus you going to get that user that claims you did something becuase you know their password. Don't need that headache. :-\

Post by: StuartNaylor on August 05, 2014, 06:36:21 pm: Because samba4 is central and each DC or ADC or member server is all replicated then the crtl+alt+del change password will populate across all users / directory.

I think its an advantage to be this way. If owncloud is setup via ldap then this will also populate.

I am hoping Zentyal create a delegated user manager based on group settings based on dsacl's.

As a sysadmin I begrudge many user activities that I believe are actually a HR function.

Part of the delegated user manager would be that a user can access his own details.

So hopefully it will be part of the future after all this openchange development has calmed down somewhat.

Post by: nontrivial on August 18, 2014, 10:40:15 pm: Count me as one of the sysadmins that do not use OpenChange and therefore now have to handle password change requests manually. I don't see how UserCorner could possibly conflict with whatever OpenChange operates such that it has to cease to exist.

Title: Re: User's corner non existant
Post by: desperados on February 03, 2020, 08:34:20 am: I'm interested too. There are some valid alternatives to user's corner? It's useful for roadwarrior users, that can't do ctrl+alt+canc
