password verify function
Hello,
I'm creating a password verify function by tweaking the utlpwdmg.sql file. In the section where it's trying to determine if the new password differs by more that n characters, it compares to old_password. If I'm in as sysdba, and want to change another user's password, the old_password is null, so, this check won't be enforced. I've read that the old_password will only be populated if a user tries to change his/her own password. Is this true? Is there anyway to compare to the old password if I want to change another user's password?
