Improvement / New Feature Details

Password Management

JIRA ISSUES: [CORE-95] and [WEBCLIENT-56]

In release 1.7.02, i2b2 users are now able to change their password from within the i2b2 Web Client and Workbench. Previously to this release, users did not have the ability to change their own password. They would have to notify their administrator who would have to change it for them in the i2b2 administration module. This new feature adds a layer of security in that the user can manage their own password and not have the added risk of other users (i.e. the admin) knowing their password.

Important If a user is setup to log into the i2b2 using either Active Directory or LDAP authentication methods then they will not be able to change their password from within the i2b2 Web Client or Workbench. If they need to change their password they will need to contact their site administrator and follow the protocols established at their institution. This feature is only available for those users that log in with the standard i2b2 Authentication method.

In the i2b2 Web Client, a new option called Change Password now appears in the Web Client's toolbar.

Clicking on Change Password will open the i2b2 Change Password window.

In the i2b2 Workbench, a new button labeled Password has been added to the i2b2 desktop title bar.

Clicking on Password will open the Set Password window.

The functionality to change your password is the same regardless of whether you access the change password window from within the i2b2 Web Client or the workbench. There are basically three steps:

1. Enter your current password.
2. Enter a new password for your user.
3. Retype your password.

Once you do the above three steps and click on OK the system will verify you entered your "current" password correctly and the password you entered at the New Password and Retype Password fields match. Provided everything is correct your new password will be saved.

Note Once you change your password you will need to log out of the Web Client or Workbench and log back in using your new password.
