WebLink 7.0.5

Summary

WebLink 7.0.5 allows users to change their password from the My WebLink page. If you want to prevent users from being able to change their password, there are several methods:

  • If WebLink is associated with a Laserfiche 7.2 repository, you can use the Laserfiche Administration Console included with Laserfiche 7.2 to disable a user's ability to change their password.
  • Use the WebLink 7 Administrator's Utility to create repository configurations with appropriate user names and passwords such that users do not need to know and specify a password to access your WebLink site.
  • Modify the My WebLink page to disable the Change Password button.

The following section discusses the code changes necessary in order to implement the third option of hiding the Change Password button.

More Information

Modify the <asp:button id="ChangePasswordBtn" Runat="server"> tag on the MyWebLink.aspx page.

To hide the Change Password button

  1. Using a text editor, open MyWebLink.aspx, which is located in the "Web Files" subfolder of your WebLink 7.0.5 installation folder.
  2. Scroll down to around line 68 and locate the following tag:

    <asp:button id="ChangePasswordBtn" Runat="server">

  3. Add the Enabled="False" and style="display:none;" attributes to the tag. After your modification, the line should look similar to the following:

    <asp:button id="ChangePasswordBtn" Runat="server" Enabled="False" style="display:none;">

  4. Save your changes to MyWebLink.aspx.
