password. Is there a way to retrieve this expired password state and allow the user to change their password? | |
I understood your question as "I want to change the expired password but in "quiet mode" i.e., without having the pop-up asking new password.".
Is that correct ?
If the ODBC DSN option "Run in Quiet Mode" is not selected, then whatever the ODBC API like SQLConnect/SQLDriverConnect you use, the pop-up for
new password will be displayed. The only way to change password without the pop-up is, to use "PWD2=<new password>;" in the
SQLDriverConnect's connection string. i.e., below is an example string
DRIVER={Teradata};DBCNAME=<dbc name>;UID=<user name>;PWD=<current
password>;PWD2=<new password>;
OR
DSN=<ODBC DSN name>;UID=<user name>;PWD=<current password>;PWD2=<new
password>;
If the current password is expired, the ODBC driver sends the new password by itself taking from PWD2.
