3 0) NOTE: This plugin is not needed for SquirrelMail 1.5.0 or above.
4 The functionality it provides is already included in the
5 change_password plugin that is part of 1.5.x.
7 1) Start with untaring the file into the plugins directory.
8 Here is an example for the 3.0 version of the change_pass plugin.
11 $ tar -zxf change_pass-3.0-1.4.0.tar.gz
13 2) By default, the plugin will connect to the IMAP server configured
14 for SquirrelMail on port 106 to change passwords.
15 If you need to change any of the following:
16 IP address of your poppass server
17 poppass server port number (if not 106)
18 minimum or maximum password length
19 you will need to create a configuration file.
21 Decide if you want to store the plugin configuration file
22 in the plugin directory or in the main SquirrelMail config
25 A) To store the configuration file in the plugin directory,
26 change into the change_pass directory, copy config_example.php
27 to config.php and edit config.php, making adjustments as
31 $ cp config_example.php config.php
34 B) To store the configuration file in the main SquirrelMail
35 config directory, change into the change_pass directory,
36 copy config_example.php to ../../config/config_change_pass.php
37 and edit ../../config/config_change_pass.php, making
38 adjustments as you deem necessary.
41 $ cp config_example.php ../../config/config_change_pass.php
42 $ vi ../../config/config_change_pass.php
44 3) Go to your config directory and run conf.pl. Choose
45 option 8 and move the plugin from the "Available Plugins"
46 category to the "Installed Plugins" category. Save and
49 $ cd ../../../../config/
52 4) If not being used with SquirrelMail 1.4.16+,
53 please verify that you have the "Compatibility" plugin
54 installed (but not necessarily activated).
