Mail notification when passwords are changed

[Ypnose]

Good afternoon,

I am a network administrator managing around 500 accounts. I would like to receive a notification when an user changes his password. Do you think it could be possible without using posthook ?

Why would you not use a posthook? Seems the easier solution.

I was just curious about it. BTW, I have another question : I use something similar to your example written here. Can we espace the $ in $login to prevent the following Apache error :
PHP Notice: Undefined variable: login in /usr/share/self-service-password/conf/config.inc.local.php

Thanks for your help

Hi,

If you want to configure a custom hook command, in your config.inc.local.php, you only need your variable to identify the script/binary that would be used.
The documentation is confusing though, you are right.

Check here: https://github.com/ltb-project/self-service-password/blob/master/htdocs/change.php#L210-L213
And there: https://github.com/ltb-project/self-service-password/blob/master/lib/functions.inc.php#L716-L725

the posthook and prehook variables are concatenated with logins and other variables based on execution context.
Your configuration just needs to identify which binaries/script to use.
I'll submit a PR for the doc, thanks for letting us know.
