We have implemented LSF9. I'm working on Help Desk procedures for portal password resets. I'm told the only option is the Lawson Security Administrator.
I'd rather not have to install that on the Help Desk PCs. I'd much rather create a web or shell script but I'm told it can't be done.
I've thought about writing my own web to talk to LDAP following the USERATTS script and the PWCHANGE design. Has anyone else faced this sort of thing?

You could establish an ADM profile class to contol access to the Security Administrator to only allow password changes. ADM > Securable type > Security Metadata > Server, then select option 'X' - Manage User Credetials. Then deny most everything else. We have released this to the help desk staff.

I wrote a C # Web app a few years ago to manage Lawson passwords prior to LDAP. I'm sure it can be done with LDAP, but you would need to determine how to manage the password encryption.
