CGI-based Password Services HTML Form Templates

The Password Services CGI uses HTML forms to collect password information from users and send it to the Policy Server. The Policy Server checks the information against the password policy and then sends a message back to the Password Services using another form.

A SiteMinder Web Agent installation provides form templates that you can customize. The sample forms are installed in the following locations:

The templates include the following:
