Unable to Change Password for LDAP-Based Authentication Workflows

Symptom:

For LDAP-based authentication workflows (used in controller3.jsp and controller4.jsp), users could not change their password under the following conditions:

• Password services are enabled in SiteMinder Policy Server.
• The user enters the correct old password, but provides an invalid new password.

  Note: If the user provides a password that does not match the password policy settings, then the system considers the password as invalid.

  On the next attempt to change the password, users were not allowed to do so even after providing the correct old password and a valid new password.

Solution:

In this release, the Authentication Shim has been modified to allow the user to change their password. Even if the user fails to provide a valid password in the first attempt, they can still change their password in the subsequent attempt by providing a valid password.
