{{InstallPlugin|pluginname=open-xchange-passwordchange-script|sopath=stable}}
 
 
== Example ==
 
In <tt>/opt/open-xchange/etc/groupware/change_pwd_script.properties</tt> add this line:
 
com.openexchange.passwordchange.script.shellscript=/bin/pwchange.pl
 
=== Example Script ===
 
This example script calls <tt>saslpasswd</tt> to change the password in the sasldb:
 
#! /usr/bin/perl -w -T
#
# perlsec(1) for security related perl programming
#
use Getopt::Long;
use strict;
my $user;
my $pw;
my $result;
my $cid;
my $oldpassword;
my $userid;
open(LOG, '>>/var/log/pw.log');
sub log_error {
        my $errorstring=$_[0];
        print LOG "Error: $errorstring\n";
        die "$errorstring";
}
# secure env
$ENV{'PATH'} = "";
$ENV{'ENV'} = "";
$result = GetOptions ("username=s" => \$user,
                      "cid" => \$cid,
                      "userid" => \$userid,
                      "oldpassword" => \$oldpassword,
                      "newpassword=s" => \$pw);
$user || &log_error("missing parameter username");
print LOG "changing password for user $user\n";
$pw || &log_error("missing parameter newpassword");
my $usersav = $user;
# add a taint check
if ($user =~ /^([-\@\w.]+)$/) {
  $user = $1;                    # $data now untainted
} else {
  &log_error("Bad data in '$user'");
}
die "Can't fork: $!" unless defined(my $pid = open(KID, "|-"));
if ($pid) {          # parent
  print KID $pw;
  close KID;
} else {
  exec '/usr/bin/sudo', '/usr/sbin/saslpasswd2', '-p', "$user"
    or &log_error("can't exec myprog: $!");
}
close(LOG);
