Installing change_pass ====================== 0) NOTE: This plugin is not needed for SquirrelMail 1.5.0 or above. The functionality it provides is already included in the change_password plugin that is part of 1.5.x. This plugin requires SquirrelMail 1.4.20 or later (or 1.4.0+ and Compatibility 2.0.16). 1) Start with untaring the file into the plugins directory. Here is an example for the 3.1 version of the change_pass plugin. $ cd plugins $ tar -zxf change_pass-3.1-1.4.0.tar.gz 2) By default, the plugin will connect to the IMAP server configured for SquirrelMail on port 106 to change passwords. If you need to change any of the following: IP address of your poppass server poppass server port number (if not 106) minimum or maximum password length you will need to create a configuration file. Decide if you want to store the plugin configuration file in the plugin directory or in the main SquirrelMail config directory. A) To store the configuration file in the plugin directory, change into the change_pass directory, copy config_example.php to config.php and edit config.php, making adjustments as you deem necessary. $ cd change_pass $ cp config_example.php config.php $ vi config.php B) To store the configuration file in the main SquirrelMail config directory, change into the change_pass directory, copy config_example.php to ../../config/config_change_pass.php and edit ../../config/config_change_pass.php, making adjustments as you deem necessary. $ cd change_pass $ cp config_example.php ../../config/config_change_pass.php $ vi ../../config/config_change_pass.php 3) Go to your config directory and run conf.pl. Choose option 8 and move the plugin from the "Available Plugins" category to the "Installed Plugins" category. Save and exit. $ cd ../../../../config/ $ ./conf.pl 4) Translations are not included in this package.
